How to Review Your Residential or Commercial Dashboard Each Month

Your Residential or Commercial Dashboard in Propra is designed to help you stay on top of leasing activity, occupancy, upcoming renewals, and any units that require attention. Reviewing your dashboard regularly—especially in the final week of each month—helps ensure your portfolio stays accurate and up to date.


1. Review Vacant Units

Start by looking at the units marked as vacant or empty.

What to check:

  • Are there units showing as vacant that should have active leases?

  • Have you recently moved a tenant out but forgotten to create the new lease?

  • Have you approved an applicant in a Propra campaigns but not yet sent the lease offer?

If you created a Campaign in Propra, make sure:

  • You have sent the lease offer to the approved applicant

  • The applicant has signed their lease

A signed lease automatically creates the new lease in Propra, which will remove the unit from the vacant list.


2. Ensure All New Leases Are Entered

If a unit is no longer vacant:

  • Make sure you have entered the new lease

  • Confirm the move-in date is correct

  • Double-check the rent, fees, and tenant details

This ensures beginning-of-month rent charges and accounting entries are generated correctly.


3. Review Upcoming Lease Expiries

Your dashboard will show leases that are nearing their end date.

During your end-of-month review:

  • Look at all leases expiring in the next <7 days

  • Confirm which tenants are renewing

  • Create renewal leases for any tenants staying

  • Begin outreach for tenants not yet confirmed

  • Prepare marketing or campaigns for units that will soon be vacant

Handling renewals before the month ends reduces last-minute rush and ensures your occupancy data stays accurate.


4. Confirm Accuracy Before the New Month Begins

Before the new month starts, your dashboard should clearly reflect:

  • All active leases

  • All vacant units that truly are vacant

  • All renewals completed

  • All lease offers sent and signed

This ensures:

  • Rent charges generate correctly

  • Vacancy reporting is accurate

  • Your leasing pipeline stays organized

  • Your accounting and owner reporting stays clean


5. Why This Review Matters

Performing this review during the last week of each month helps you:

  • Avoid missed rent charges

  • Keep occupancy rates accurate

  • Prevent discrepancies in your reporting

  • Stay ahead on renewals

  • Ensure new tenants are fully onboarded

  • Keep your portfolio well-maintained and up to date

It’s a simple monthly habit that creates smoother operations throughout the entire month.
