The change

Why we changed
  • Hosts had a hard time finding their Tenants page.
  • The next step of the process, no matter what step you were on, was not clear.

Navigating with Pending, Confirmed, and Archived tabs

Requests & Stays includes a tab navigation to separate the type of request.
  • Pending: Inquiries (messages) and booking requests. The renter has not paid their rental deposit yet.
  • Confirmed: Booking requests where the renter has paid their rental deposit and therefore secured the space.
  • Archived: Expired, canceled, deleted, and declined requests
