We’re excited to introduce a major update to our calendar system that makes scheduling easier, improves availability management, and saves you valuable time! If you're looking to simplify the management of your monthly rental, here’s everything you need to know about these powerful updates.
What’s New in the Updated Calendar System?
Our latest update includes powerful features to streamline your booking process:
Better calendar syncing – Seamlessly update availability across multiple platforms like Airbnb and VRBO.
Improved availability management – Take full control over your rental schedule and manage bookings with ease.
Flexible minimum stay settings – Adjust your minimum stay requirements directly from the calendar, making it easier to manage reservations.
These updates are designed to make managing your monthly rental easier than ever.
How Will This Update Save Me Time?
With improved automation, you no longer have to manually adjust your availability or sync bookings across different platforms. Simply enter your bookings or mark unavailable dates, and we’ll automatically update your next available date for prospective tenants!
No more manually updating your availability on Furnished Finder! Just log any unavailable dates and your minimum stay requirements, and we’ll take care of the rest.
What Improvements Have Been Made to the Calendar?
We’ve introduced several updates to enhance your experience:
Enter bookings and blocking events directly into your Furnished Finder calendar. Easily view and manage all your calendar events in your Landlord Dashboard.
Mark dates as unavailable for any reason. Whether you’re scheduling maintenance, planning personal stays, or have a short-term rental booking, you can block off specific dates with ease. (Event details remain private to you.)
Real-time syncing with Airbnb and VRBO. Say goodbye to scheduling conflicts—our updated system ensures accurate availability across platforms.
How Does Availability Update Based on Bookings and Blocking Events?
Here are a couple of examples of how your availability will automatically update:
Scenario 1: A landlord blocks off January 1–15 for maintenance and then has a booking from Airbnb for January 20–24. If they have a 30-day minimum stay requirement, their next available move-in date will be January 24.
Scenario 2: A landlord has a Furnished Finder booking from January 1–March 31, then blocks off April 3–5 for personal use. With no other future blocks, their next available move-in date is April 5—meaning a tenant could move in that evening.
Pro Tip: If you don’t allow same-day turnovers, simply add a one-night blocking event (e.g., labeled “Turnover”) to your calendar for better clarity.
Can I Set Minimum Stays More Easily Now?
Yes! You can now adjust minimum stay settings directly from your calendar, starting with a 30-day minimum. This makes it quick and easy to manage your booking preferences and maintain control over reservations.

Getting started is simple! Just log into your account (opens in new tab) and navigate to the calendar settings. A guided walkthrough will help you update your preferences and begin utilizing these new features immediately.
