| 20110313798 | SHORT-TERM HOUSING RENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - As will be discussed in greater detail herein, a short-term housing rental management system and method provides tools for housing property managers, owners, renters, and others to better facilitate processes involved with offering and renting housing on a short-term basis. The system adds a more dynamic nature to pricing to be adaptive to changing conditions regarding such factors as timing and demand for particular short-term rental properties. Among other things, the system uses yield management to establish proper margins in rental pricing to increase returns from a rental event while seeking to increase occupancies. The system allows for short-term housing inventory to be offered simultaneously under more than one approach. For instance, the system could offer the short-term housing opportunity for a no commission approach, a merchant approach, and an agent approach. | 12-22-2011 |
