2. On the Home page under Create New, click Rental Housing Registration (RRIO).
3. On the next screen, click Transfer Existing Registration to New Owners.

4. Enter the Rental Property Registration Record Number and click Continue.

5. Update the property contact information by using the Add Myself and Add Someone Else buttons.
   
   1. Add yourself first using the Add Myself option.
   2. Use the Add Someone Else option to find existing contacts already in the system.
   3. If your contact is not in the system, click Person or organization not found? Add them here.
