Question about holding spots

[Cocoon]

I'm holding a spot for 3 months( well it will be 3 months in July) and I told the family if they want the spot they have to pay either a holding fee which is $100 per month and it is payable now or they can say no and wait and contact me in June to see if I still have a spot available. I also told them that I have 2 more families interested in the spot(I refused one but was going to offer other family if this family said no to holding fee). They paid on the spot and now I'm waiting for them to start in July.

In Feb. one family had emailed me asking if i have a temp. spot for her son starting from mid May? I told her to contact me in April to see If I have any availability. She did and I met her yesterday and she took the spot until beginning of July So in my case It worked really well.

If you want to hold the spot for that long as them to pay for some amount until they come back meanwhile, advertise the spot for a year or until your current family comes back(I feel like I have post this sentence before. Is there 2 post regarding holding fee or am I loosing it?
