Distinguish spelling, a different person and a holder change after entry or departure.
What should you prepare?

Bill; identification as needed.

Please note

Do not transfer debt to someone without a basis.

02

Collect supporting evidence

For holder changes prepare entry/exit and handover dates; Tel Aviv's incoming-tenant route lists a full lease of at least a year.

Appropriate contract or agreement.

Please note

Owner, heir and tenant requirements differ.

04

Separate payment arrangements

Query direct debits, discounts and earlier credits separately; holder changes do not necessarily cancel old payment instructions.
What should you prepare?

Relevant authorisation and earlier approval.

Please note

Check balance and effective date before cancelling payment.

05

Check the updated bill

Match name and effective date with approval and query wrongly allocated payments using evidence.
What should you prepare?

Change confirmation; new bill.

Please note

Payment in your name does not prove corrected registration.

Frequently asked questions

Does my credit card suffice to change the holder?

No. Holder registration concerns the property's occupant relationship and needs notice and evidence, independent of card ownership.
