The Minimum Length of Stay (MLOS) based on lead time is a length of stay control panel restriction that is determined by the number of nights or hours between the date or time a reservation is made as well as the arrival date or time of that reservation.
A (MLOS) by Lead Time can be set permanently or by a given date range. (MLOS) by Lead Time can also be tiered to have multiple MLOS rules applied over the same date range.
Examples
- For booking(s) made less than, or equal to, 1 night(s) from arrival, MLOS restriction is 1 night(s).
- For booking(s) made less than, or equal to, 7 night(s) from arrival, MLOS restriction is 2 night(s).
- For booking(s) made less than, or equal to, 999 night(s) from arrival, MLOS restriction is 5 night(s).
With the above rule in play:
- 1 night from arrival allows a 1 night stay.
- 2+ nights from the arrival the minimum nights would be 2.
- 8+ nights from the arrival the minimum nights would be 5.

Important Information! A length of stay restriction set in the control panel will override any restriction setup on the rate. RMS will use the newest record when more than one exists for the same date and Restriction Type. |
