Hi, Ken ...

This has less to do with functionality as it does to do with liability.

If an owner offers a high-risk amenity -- like a swimming pool or a fireplace -- requiring initials is evidence that the owner emphasized this risk, and that the renter in turn acknowledged it.

I can highlight risks such as these in my rental agreement with bold type. But requiring a renter to acknowledge that s/he understands what the cautions are ensures they can't claim ignorance should a problem arise.

So please consider some initialing option within the rental agreement.

No, there is no functionality for initialing the rental agreement.  It's not needed, because the agreement is one single electronic document rather than multiple separate physical pages as with a printed-paper agreement, where each page needs to be initialed so someone sneaky doesn't slip an extra one in there.  Electronic agreements don't have this problem.

I am unaware of this feature to initial sections of the RA, and do not see it mentioned in the OR Help files. I only see initials as a requested feature here - https://www.ownerrez.com/forums/requests/support-initials-within-the-rental-agreement-form

If this is an active feature, could you please provide some direction on where to find documentation to implement this feature?

Completely agree. It would be great to have this feature. 

OwnerRez doesn't currently create promotions in booking.com as their schema is quite different and more limited than the discount structure in OwnerRez.

Instead, create a promotion or derived rate on the booking.com side, based on the normal nightly rate that OwnerRez is pushing. Then the promotion will be applied to bookings if applicable.

One major improvement for me would be if I could set up Length of Stay discounts for Booking.com

OR documentation indicates this is not possible, but when looking at Booking.com's Promotion API documentation it looks (to me, not a techie), that it should be possible.

I would love the ability to customize the Booking Overview screen (first screen visible when clicking into a booking from the calendar) with helpful information from the Custom Fields that we have incorporated into the booking process. For instance, guests type in the reason for their visit via a Custom Field. Being able to select that specific field to be visible on the Booking Overview screen would make it muuuuch easier and streamlined for various processes on our end. 

this will be great to have, agree 100%

This is a problem for me too. Feature will allow for more bookings.

I would like to request to remove minimum gap day requirements on vacancies closer than a set date. For example if I have a 3 day vacancy within 7 days, and if my minimum stay requirement is 2 days, and I have a "do-not-allow 1 day gap" requirement, in order to increase my chances of getting bookings at the last minute I would like to remove the minimum gap day requirement for that duration, but not for vacancies out in future.

I’ve been collecting guest ID’s at the time of booking via HelloWorks since 2019 and not once have we had a guest not comply or complain. When my HelloWorks account expires, I’ll use the process OR has established.

The feature for initials in the Rental Agreement already exists.  

Great! And booking window too?

Thank you 

@High Mountain PM - sign up for a PM account with Rental Guardian.  They will give you a site for guests to book there or you can add a link to purchase at the time of booking.  Our branded site Rental Guardian set up: https://coastalwaves.rentalguardian.com/.  By selling it yourself you get to keep a good chunk of it as commission, 30% I think. You have to turn off the Travel insurance option during the reservation portion and enter your own verbiage and link.   Be forewarned....since it will not get added to the reservation in the charges or transactions it is a pain to keep up who purchased it and who did not.  I did it this way for a year then gave up managing this when we went from 20 to 40 properties.  But I do still ask guests to purchase travel insurance through us directly with the reservation confirmation and a few other email triggers with this verbaige

"  If you have not added Travel protection to your reservation, we highly suggest doing so at this time. We offer 2 levels of coverage. The first and the one we recommend is Play Travel Protection CFAR, Cancel for Any Reason, policy (10.8% of rental cost), and the second is the standard Play Travel Protection Policy (7% of rental cost)..."

Weigh if the extra $ vs time is worth it for you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you......just need initials feature legal agreement - :) 

Changeover overrides are also planned.

Feature Request 

It would be great if we could batch edit Discounts and Surcharges to change things like their Season or ranking Position.

Thanks!

There is not - but, it's being discussed for v2.

Yes!

I would suggest, for similar last minute situations, to also be able to overrule the booking window rules.

For instance, I have a standard 3-day booking window to be able to prepare the house, but if I have the house ready and I want to put 1 night on the market for the next day, I would like to be able to overrule that for that particular date.

Yes, this is planned for the fairly near future.

For sure you should vote if you haven’t already - this should be a feature 

Agreed.  Want this feature

I see this feature is released which is wonderful! I was wondering if there is a way to allow for multiple ID image uploads. I have the need to collect the Driver's license for every potential golf cart driver, who might be using our golf cart, while staying at our vacation rental. Ideally, I'd like to collect the photo ID of the agreement signer. And then send a link at a later date, for others to upload their IDs securely. As I don't want to hold up the agreement signing process, while they wait to collect DL photo from everyone in their party.

Thanks!

At the top it says “vote for this feature” click on that. Maybe if it gets enough votes they will do it

I totally agree with you Dori123!  That's why I went looking for this function, too.

I would like to be able to block EITHER check in or check out on specific days (like Christmas). I don't care if people are doing one or the other on the holidays, but I want to prevent my cleaning crew from doing a flip on holidays. Please consider implementing; this seems like easy coding and would be super helpful! 

Thanks
