Minimum Stays should not be able to overlap when booking online
When a guest books online for example 3 nights, if the minimum stay is set to 1 night the first night, then 7 nights thereafter, they are still able to book online for the 3 nights even though the following nights are 7 night minimum. I don't believe this should be allowed. Defeats the purpose of having minimum stays set for certain periods.
Thank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
Currently available in RMS 9+ is the ability to setup both Minimum Length of Stay on Arrival as well as a Soft Close, otherwise referred to as a Minimum Stay Through Reservation.
For your scenario, we would recommend setting up a Soft Close to ensure that guests arriving earlier than the 7 night minimum but staying across it will need to book the minimum of 7 nights in order to stay for those dates.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to introducing exciting new features from our user suggestions in the coming months.
Kind Regards,
RMS Product Development

Soft close is a great feature but I understand soft close won't work with OTA connections. So my workaround to that problem was to set closed to arrival and closed to departure.
