The answer

Review termination terms, future reservations, account access, guest communications, contractor arrangements, inventory, payments, and records. Plan the transition around service continuity. A manager change does not automatically transfer listings or permissions.

Confirm responsibilities during the handover period and reconcile funds. Seek appropriate advice on disputed contractual provisions. The property should remain understandable to guests while internal roles change.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
