How do I add an owner?
ForProperty managers
Who can do this
Organization admins and members with Create Owners. Needs an active subscription.
Where to find it
Owners → Add Owner (also Add new in any owner picker).
Steps
- "Who is the owner?": First name, Last name. Continue.
- "How do we reach them?": Email, Phone. You need at least a name or an email. Continue.
- "Where do they file taxes?": Canada or United States. For the United States, optionally add Tax ID (TIN) ("For 1099-MISC") and tick "This owner is a corporation, so no 1099-MISC is needed". Continue (or Skip).
- "Which properties do they own?" (optional): pick properties. "Ownership share and the owner contract are set on the property." Continue.
- "Invite them to the owner portal?" (only when you entered a valid email): Invite them ("They see statements and payouts") or Not now ("Invite them later from their page").
- "Anything to note?" (optional): Notes.
- Select Add owner.
What happens next
With Not now, no toast; the owner appears with "Not Invited". With Invite them, the toast "Owner added and invited — We emailed <email> a link to join the owner portal." and the status becomes "Invited". Each property you picked lists the owner on its Owners tab.
Good to know
Opened from a property's Add new, the property is already selected. Switching taxes back to Canada clears the US fields.
Troubleshooting
- "Enter a name or an email." / "Invalid email address".
- "Owner added, but the invitation didn't send — Invite them from their page."
- "Invitation sent, but not recorded": the email went out but the status still says Not Invited. Don't send it again.
- "Owner added, but a property wasn't updated — Link that property to them from its page."
- "Couldn't add owner": nothing saved; try again.
