One Zulma host account manages as many properties as you list. Add a downtown condo, a lakeside cottage, and a guest suite to the same login, and each one keeps its own settings. Nothing is shared by accident.

​
One account, many properties

You sign in once. Each property you add carries its own configuration so a turn at one address never picks up the wrong calendar, the wrong linen plan, or the wrong access notes. Every property holds its own:
SettingWhat it controls
Calendar feedsThe iCal links Zulma reads to know when guests check out. One or more feeds per property.
Laundry tierL1, L2, or L3 for that unit (see laundry tiers).
Default check-in / check-out timesThe times Zulma uses to flag same-day turns, since calendars do not carry them.
Access instructionsHow the Pro gets in (lockbox, smart lock, code, key), surfaced to the assigned Pro for that turn.
Billing modePer-turn or managed-monthly, set per property (see billing).
AttestationsYour authority to list, any municipal STR licence, and adequate insurance for that address.
Settings are per property, not per account. Changing the laundry tier or default times on one unit never touches the others.

​
Adding a property

1

Create the property profile

Give the property a name you will recognize and enter its address. This is what you will see across your dashboard, so make it specific (for example “Lakeshore Cottage” rather than “Unit 2”).
2

Connect its calendar feeds

Paste the read-only iCal link from each listing platform for this property. A single unit can have more than one feed (for example the same place listed on Airbnb and Vrbo), and Zulma de-duplicates them so a turn is generated once per checkout date. See calendar setup for where to find each link.
3

Set default check-in and check-out times

Calendars carry the dates but not the times, so enter this property’s checkout and check-in times (for example 11 AM checkout, 3 PM check-in). Zulma uses them to flag a same-day turn when a checkout and the next check-in land on the same date.
4

Choose the laundry tier

Pick L1, L2, or L3 for this unit. L2 and L3 require in-unit laundry and 3 par sets of linen kept on site. Read laundry tiers before you decide.
5

Add access instructions

Record how the Pro gets in and out. These notes are surfaced to the Pro assigned to that property’s turns.
6

Pick a billing mode

Set per-turn or managed-monthly for this property. Modes are independent, so one unit can bill per turn while another bills monthly. See billing.
7

Complete the attestations

Confirm your authority to list, any required municipal STR licence, and adequate insurance for this address. The property goes active only after this step.

​
A property goes active only after its attestations

Each property has to pass its own attestations before Zulma will generate turns for it. You complete them per address, not once for the whole account. You attest to three things:
  • Authority to list. You own the property or are authorized to arrange cleaning for it.
  • Municipal STR licence. Any short-term rental licence your municipality requires is in place.
  • Adequate insurance. You carry coverage appropriate for hosting this unit.
A property stays inactive until its attestations are complete. No turns are generated for it, even if its calendar feeds are already connected. Finish the attestations to switch it on.
Attestations are per property. Adding a new unit means a fresh set for that address, since licence requirements and coverage can differ from one property to the next.

​
Mixing settings across your portfolio

Because everything is set per property, your portfolio can look however your real operation looks. For example:
  • A high-turnover city condo on per-turn billing with L3 laundry, and a slower seasonal cottage on managed-monthly with L1.
  • One listing synced from a single Airbnb feed, another pulling from Airbnb plus Vrbo at the same time.
  • Different check-in and check-out times per unit, so same-day turns are flagged correctly for each.
Each property’s turns are generated on a rolling 4 to 6 week window from its own connected calendars.

​
What stays shared

A few things live at the account level, not the property level:
  • Your login and host profile.
  • Your payment method on file (each property’s billing mode decides how and when it is charged).
  • Your notification preferences for guest-ready alerts and issue flags.

​
Questions

No. One account manages as many properties as you host. Each is configured and activated on its own.
Yes. Laundry tier is set per property. One unit can be L3 while another is L1. See laundry tiers.
Yes. Billing mode is chosen per property and the two modes run independently. See billing.
Yes. Authority to list, any municipal STR licence, and adequate insurance are attested per address, because requirements can differ between properties. A property goes active only once its attestations are complete.
Yes. Add a feed for each platform the unit is listed on. Zulma de-duplicates overlapping feeds so a turn is generated once per checkout date. See calendar setup.
