Re: how often do people leave their posting up after they rent? (by RedWeek Support):
We generally recommend that once an owner has received a signed rental agreement and a deposit, the posting be deactivated. The reason is to prevent the frustration of a person purchasing a RedWeek membership because they want to rent that particular week, only to be told the week is no longer available. We also often hear from RedWeek members who become upset because they are spending their time contacting owners who have already rented their week.
If an owner chooses to leave up a posting until the full rental amount is received, then we request a note be added to the Details section of the posting stating that the week is under contract, but back-up offers are being accepted. This also helps ease the mind of the renter, who wants to know why the posting is still active when they have signed a contract to rent that week.
Once an owner has received the deposit and signed rental agreement (or full payment), they can change the dates on their posting and advertise another week at the same resort (i.e. their week for next year) until the posting expires. The only thing that cannot be changed is the resort location.
