# Managing Multiple Properties

> Run every short-term rental you host from one Zulma account, with its own feeds, laundry tier, default times, access, billing, and attestations per property.

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:

| Setting                            | What it controls                                                                                  |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Calendar feeds                     | The iCal links Zulma reads to know when guests check out. One or more feeds per property.         |
| Laundry tier                       | L1, L2, or L3 for that unit (see [laundry tiers](/hosts/laundry-tiers)).                          |
| Default check-in / check-out times | The times Zulma uses to flag same-day turns, since calendars do not carry them.                   |
| Access instructions                | How the Pro gets in (lockbox, smart lock, code, key), surfaced to the assigned Pro for that turn. |
| Billing mode                       | Per-turn or managed-monthly, set per property (see [billing](/hosts/billing)).                    |
| Attestations                       | Your authority to list, any municipal STR licence, and adequate insurance for that address.       |

<Tip>
  Settings are per property, not per account. Changing the laundry tier or default times on one unit never touches the others.
</Tip>

## Adding a property

<Steps>
  <Step title="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").
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/hosts/calendar-setup) for where to find each link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/hosts/laundry-tiers) before you decide.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add access instructions">
    Record how the Pro gets in and out. These notes are surfaced to the Pro assigned to that property's turns.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/hosts/billing).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Note>

## 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.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

<Info>
  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.
</Info>

## 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is there a limit on how many properties I can add?">
    No. One account manages as many properties as you host. Each is configured and activated on its own.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can different properties use different laundry tiers?">
    Yes. Laundry tier is set per property. One unit can be L3 while another is L1. See [laundry tiers](/hosts/laundry-tiers).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I bill some properties per turn and others monthly?">
    Yes. Billing mode is chosen per property and the two modes run independently. See [billing](/hosts/billing).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I redo my attestations for every property?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can one property pull from more than one calendar?">
    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](/hosts/calendar-setup).
