I do understand the frustration but what the card owners are doing is maximizing their ROI for the cards they aquired. Some specifically purcahsed cards for the purpose of renting them out. Makes sense they would want to get max ROI in return to pay for the card they purchased.

Currently contracts are for 24 hours only and nothing over that is gntd. When the renter selects multi day renting its not gntd that card will be available for those days. The gntd time frame is 24 hours. That being said, I'd like to see 24 hour / 3 day and 7 day rental contracts. While 3 & 7 day contracts might not give the best ROI it will likely garner the card owners a loyal customers. I'd happily choose the three or even seven day option to lock in my rented cards.

Explanation on how card rentals currently work.

Rental contracts are only for 24 hours so if one selects renew for 7 days all that does is allow you the same card IF the card owner agrees to additional 24 hour rental contracts. Both sides need to agree to an additional 24 hours after the initial 24 hours is up. If the card owner cancels that means they didn't agree and no contract was created. Be nice to have 3 day and 7 day contracts as well but we don't have that yet but I bet eventually we will.

Agreed. Hopefully, longer term guaranteed contracts will be implemented. This guarantees income for the card owner (since the renter cannot cancel just because he found a better deal) and prevents the frustration that the renters are having when the card owner pulls the card before the end of season.

Added bonus: It would help minimize the mania of refreshing peakmonsters / splinterlands during end of season.
