Because Neighbor Storage, Inc. reviews transfer requests on a case-by-case basis, there is no guarantee that earnings will be transferred after death. Lifetime planning reduces dependence on that outcome.
How to protect your Neighbor earnings
5 lifetime planning steps for your Neighbor earnings:
Family sharing
Neighbor does not publish a co-host, family-sharing, pooling, or co-ownership feature for a host account, and there is no documented account transfer. The only routine way money leaves the platform is the host's own payout — released through Stripe to the bank account connected to the account — which lands in an account the host controls. A surviving family member who wants to keep renting out the same space would, absent a documented transfer path, need to confirm options directly with Neighbor support.
Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
Frequently asked questions
Record the account email for your executor, since Neighbor has no documented estate or beneficiary process and the account is not documented as transferable. Note the bank account connected through Stripe that receives your payouts so income can be traced, document your active reservations and listings along with the 30-day notice obligation to end a reservation, and keep your hosting logistics where your executor can find them. If your Neighbor income is meaningful, address it in your estate plan.
No. Neighbor does not publish a beneficiary designation, a co-host or co-ownership feature, or a documented account transfer. Payouts are released through Stripe to the bank account you connect, which is the account you control. A survivor who wants to keep renting out the same space would need to confirm options directly with Neighbor Customer Support, since there is no published self-service path.
Listing the Neighbor account in an estate inventory identifies it for a fiduciary, who works through the operator's official channels to manage or close it.
Neighbor does not support beneficiary designations. Unlike financial accounts, there is no way to name a beneficiary on this type of account.
