# Can I transfer Padder to a new unit or landlord?

## Padder policies are typically tied to one specific lease, unit, and landlord. It usually doesn’t “move with you” automatically, but in some cases we can review a transfer.

#### **Can Padder move with me to a new unit or building?**

Your Padder policy is tied to your current lease, including your monthly base rent, unit, address and named leaseholders. It doesn’t transfer to a different building or unit, even one with the same landlord or property manager, without Padder’s prior written consent on behalf of the insurer.

Moving to a different unit in the same building may be possible case by case. Email [support@padder.com](mailto:support@padder.com) to tell us what’s changing. To keep your coverage active, please don’t sign a new lease until you have our written consent.

#### **When a new application is required**

You should expect to submit a new Padder application if:

- You’re moving to a new landlord or different property manager, even in the same city
- You’re moving to a building that is not partnered with Padder
- The product changes (e.g., you used Padder Guarantor before, but the new landlord only uses Padder Deposit, or vice versa)
- Your rent or household changes significantly
- Your existing policy term has ended with your old tenancy

In these scenarios, your previous Padder policy ends with the old lease, and the new landlord/lease would need to be underwritten on its own.

#### **How to request a review**

If you’re thinking about moving and want to know whether your Padder coverage can transfer:

1. **Reach out to Padder before you move or sign the new lease** 
     1. Contact Padder support.
2. **Include key details** 
     1. Your full name
     2. Current building and unit
     3. Your existing Padder policy or invoice number (if you have it handy)
     4. Details of the new unit/lease: 
            1. New address and unit
            2. Landlord or property manager
            3. Monthly base rent
            4. Lease start date
3. **Padder will review and confirm next steps** 
     1. We’ll let you know if: 
            1. A transfer/amendment is possible, and what that looks like, or
            2. You’ll need a new application for the new lease.

Until Padder has confirmed in writing, you should assume your existing policy does *not* automatically cover a new unit or landlord.
