There is no advance notice requirement. However, note that the further in advance you book, the more availability we’ll have.

No, you can book as little as 1 month at a time, and can book as few or as many months as you wish, during the 12-month membership.
Do I have to commit to a certain property size or Tier for the full duration of the subscription?
No. You can mix and match property sizes and Tiers anyway you wish, and will be charged the corresponding rate for each stay. For example, you could choose a 1-bedroom home for the first month, and then move to a 2-bedroom for the second month. And you could choose a Tier 1 city (for example Buenos Aires) for the first month, then a Tier 3 city (for example Miami) for the second month, and so on.
