If the wrong contact was assigned to a rental, or the booking is being transferred to someone else, you can change the renter.
How to Change the Renter
- Open the rental detail view
- Click the Change Renter action (or click the renter name and select change)
- Search for the new contact by name, email, or phone
- Select the correct contact
- Confirm the change
What Happens
- The rental is reassigned to the new contact
- All existing line items, payments, and notes remain on the rental
- The new renter's information appears in the header
- The change is recorded in the rental's history/audit trail
Important Notes
- If a payment card was on file from the original renter, it does not transfer to the new renter. You'll need to add the new renter's card.
- If an agreement was signed by the original renter, it may need to be re-sent to the new renter.
- Verification status (identity, insurance) does not transfer — the new renter may need to complete their own verifications.
