# Set prices and availability

> Weekday and weekend prices, cleaning and extra-guest fees, minimum stay, special prices for date ranges, and blocking dates.

Open the place and its **Pricing & calendar** tab. It has three parts: **Base pricing**, **Custom pricing** and **Calendar**.

## Base pricing

Set:

- **Weekday Price** (per night, Sunday to Thursday) and **Weekend Price** (Friday and Saturday);
- **Minimum Stay** in nights;
- **Cleaning Fee**, charged once per stay;
- **Extra Guest Fee**, charged per extra guest per night above the **Base Guest Count** (the guests included in the price);
- **Security deposit**: refundable, never charged at booking. With a deposit, the guest's card stays on file for a set time after check-out and only an approved damage claim is charged, up to this amount. Leave it at 0 for no deposit. See [Deposits and damage claims](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/hosts/deposits-and-damage-claims);
- **Card processing**: who covers the card fee on each stay, the guest (shown to them as a service fee) or you (taken off your payout). Rentiqa's own fee is separate;
- **Pet fee**: once per pet per stay, where pets are allowed. Tick **No pets** under House rules on the Details tab and a stay with a pet is refused when the guest picks dates;
- **Weekly discount** and **Monthly discount**: a percent off the nightly rates for stays of 7 nights or more, and of 28 nights or more (the monthly one replaces the weekly). The guest sees the nights at the list rate and the discount as its own line.

A stay for more guests than the place sleeps (**Max guests** on the Details tab) is refused when the guest picks dates.

Press **Save Base Pricing**. Without a nightly price, guests cannot book the place.

## Custom pricing

For holidays, peak season or a quiet week, press **Add Custom Pricing**. Give it a name, start and end dates, and one price for every day or separate weekday and weekend prices. If ranges overlap, the one with the higher **Priority** wins. Tick **Block these dates** to close the range to bookings instead. Press **Save Pricing**. Custom pricing always overrides base pricing.

## Calendar

The **Calendar** shows each month with weekday, weekend, custom, blocked and booked-elsewhere days. Click a date to set an **Override Price** or **Block this date**, then **Save**; **Clear Override** undoes it.

Nights booked on Airbnb or Vrbo show as **Booked elsewhere** once you connect their calendars: see [Sync your Airbnb and Vrbo calendars](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/hosts/sync-your-airbnb-and-vrbo-calendars).

Your week at a glance, with arrivals, departures and cleanings across all your places, is under **Bookings › Calendar** ([Host calendar](https://app.rentiqa.com/rentals/owner/calendar)).
