There are a couple main points to keep in mind when entering rates according to a rate schedule or "rate seasons":

• Your rate seasons must span an entire 365-day year. You must not have any lapses nor overlapping dates in your rate schedule.
  
  Example - Invalid Rate Schedule
  November 1 - March 1
  June 1 - September 1
  An error would be thrown in this example because March 2 thru May 31 and September 2 thru October 31 are missing from the calendar.
  
  Example - Invalid Rate Schedule
  November 1 - March 1
  March 1 - August 12
  August 12 - October 31
  An error would be thrown in this example because March 1 and August 12 both overlap two different rate periods - you can't have different rates specified for the same date.
  
  Example - VALID Rate Schedule
  November 1 - March 1
  March 2 - May 15
  May 16 - September 1
  September 2 - October 31
  In this example, all 365 days of the year are represented, and the system will not give an error saying that an entire 365-day period must be entered.
• If you enter a weekly rate for a rate season, you must also provide a nightly rate. This is in case someone wants to book for more than one week, but less than a full number of additional weeks. For example, someone may want to book for 12 days. In this case, if there was a weekly rate defined, we'd estimate the cost of the rental to be ONE week PLUS FIVE additional nights. There must be an additional cost per-night associated with the nights that fall outside full week spans.
• Even if your property is not available during a specific time of the year, you must still enter a rate season for this time (and select the button 'Property is unavailable during this period')
• If your rates fluctuate during a period, or you don't want to publish rates for a particular period, you must still enter a rate season for this time (and select the button 'Contact owner for rates during this period')

Please note: You don't have to enter rates according to a rate calendar and can center a free-text description of your rate information in the "Other Rate Information" textbox. If you decide to do this, however, we will not be able to provide estimated rate calculations to potential renters viewing your listing.
