Changing the owner of a property on Holidu means moving it from the current account holder (host) to a new account holder. This article explains what the change involves, the rules that apply, how it affects payments and invoicing, and how to request it.

What Does Changing the Owner Mean?

In Holidu, the owner is the account holder who manages the property. Changing the owner moves the property from the previous account holder to a new one, so that future bookings, payouts, and invoices are assigned to the new host. The new account holder must sign their own contract before the change can take place.

What Are the Rules and Conditions for Changing the Owner?

• Only one property can be transferred at a time. Bulk transfers are not possible.
• The new account holder must sign an independent contract, separate from the previous one.
• Bookings confirmed before the change stay with the previous account holder once they have been invoiced and paid out.
• Bookings confirmed after the change are invoiced and paid out to the new account holder.
• The onboarding fee is charged once per property. If it was already charged to the previous account holder, it will not be charged again.
• If the onboarding fee has not yet been charged, for example because no bookings were made or bookings were later canceled, it will be deducted from the new account holder's first payout after their first booking.

How Does Changing the Owner Affect Payments and Invoicing?

The previous account holder keeps the payouts and invoices for all bookings confirmed before the migration date. The new account holder receives payouts and invoices for all bookings confirmed after that date.

Bookings made before the migration date that have not yet been invoiced can be migrated to the new account holder, but only if this is requested explicitly. Once migrated, payouts and invoices for those bookings go to the new account holder. Bookings that have already been invoiced cannot be migrated.

What Should You Know About Bookings After the Change?

The new account does not automatically inherit booking data from the previous account. Bookings made before the migration may have limited visibility or may not appear at all. To manage these bookings under the new account, you must request a booking migration from the Holidu team. Please also inform your guests about the change to avoid confusion around check-in, payments, or messaging.
