What dates change in the results

Choosing dates narrows the results to spaces that are genuinely free for the range you asked for. A space that appeared in a search without dates may disappear the moment you add them, and that is deliberate.

Four things take a space out of the results: an existing booking that overlaps the range; the notice the host requires in advance; their limit on how far ahead they accept bookings; and a tenant on a renewing rental, who also holds the months after their current term.

A booking occupies the space from the moment it closes until the end of the period. During that time the space is not shown to others on those dates.

The search asks the same questions the booking screen asks. A space that passed the filter with your dates is a space you can book straight away.
