Conditional availability rules based on adjacent bookings

Problem Statement

• Hospitable's availability rules (check-in restrictions, preparation time) are based on day-of-week or global settings only
• Cannot prevent same-day turnover (e.g., Sunday checkout + Sunday check-in) without blocking all Sunday arrivals
• This forces hosts to either over-restrict availability or manage turnover manually

Current Workaround

• Manually block specific dates in the calendar to prevent same-day turnover
• Batch-block Sundays in advance, then manually reopen only when turnover is desired
• This is time-consuming and error-prone

Impact

• Extra manual work to manage availability
• Risk of over-blocking (preventing valid stay-through bookings)
• Inconsistent enforcement of turnover policies

Proposed Solution

• Add conditional availability rules that can reference adjacent booking dates
• Example: "Block check-in on Sunday only if the previous guest checks out on Sunday"
• Keep Sunday check-in available for stay-through bookings (e.g., Thursday → Tuesday)

Unlock

• Hosts can enforce same-day turnover policies without over-restricting availability
• Automatic enforcement reduces manual calendar management
• Consistent, rule-based control across all channels
