This article explains how to select cancellation policy for all listings in your account directly in Rentals United.
Note:
Airbnb is deprecating the "Super Strict 30" and "Super Strict 60" cancellation policies. You can continue using these policies for existing listings until September 15, 2026. After this date, Airbnb will automatically migrate all non-Luxe listings to the "Firm" cancellation policy.
While adding a new listing to Airbnb, choose another cancellation policy option to avoid an error: "Unexpected error: Invalid cancellation policy".
Available cancellation policies
All Airbnb cancellation policies are listed in the Channel Settings tab. You can choose your one cancellation policy option that will be applied for all your account. Choose your cancellation policy from the list:
