Make Co-Host the Main-Host for an Apartment

[Laura-Sophia0]

I would like to completely change the host for my apartment onto the co-host because he is the owner of the apartment, and to make my profile the co-host instead of the main-host. Is that possible? I'd like to avoid to delete the apartment and build it new because of all the good reviews.

I'm very thankful for any advice!

That depends...was the listing setup with you as owner? 

The listing should be setup with the owner of the property named as "owner". The owner then invites you to be a Co-Host. After you accept that via email link, then the owner can name you as primary host and they will show as co host to guests only, but the account will still show them as owner.

Unfortunately, if you set this listing up with you as "owner", there is no way to change this. A new listing would need to be created and you should be listed as Co Host on that initially. Note that all reviews on the listing stay with whomever was named as owner and will not transfer to the new listing - you will be starting over.

Primary Hosts vs Co Hosts vs Owner

The Listing Editor Should look like this under the Co Hosts Tab with the actual owner of the propery show as "Owner". If you name is there, then the listing wasn't setup correctly and you can't change the owner on the listing.
