Applicant Experience
When shared by email, the applicant receives an invitation link.
Application Flow
Applicants will:
Click the link
Create or log into their Propra profile
Complete the application form
They will be asked to provide:
Personal details
Contact information
Emergency contact
Application preferences
Work history
Address history
Household details
Important – Co-Applicant Login
The application must be sent to one primary applicant only.
Do NOT send the main link to both applicants, if there is a co-signer that is to be on the lease, the primary applicant will be asked to add additional tenants in their application. This will send the linked application to the co-applicant and the two applications will be linked together which will allow you to send the lease offer to be signed by both parties.
Co-signers must use the same email the invitation was sent to for security verification.

Sending a Lease
Once you approve an applicant, it’s time to create and send the lease.
Step 1: Choose how to create the lease
You have two options:
1) Create lease WITH offer (recommended)
This sends the lease to the applicant to review and sign online.
You create the lease
The system will pull the data from the application and the lease information
You send the lease form as an offer
The applicant reviews it
They sign digitally (They cannot edit the lease, they can only review and sign)
Once signed, it becomes a binding lease
Use this when:
You want the tenant to sign electronically inside Propra (most common workflow).
2) Create lease WITHOUT offer
This creates the lease for internal records only.
You create the lease
The lease is NOT sent to the tenant
No digital signature is collected
Use this when:
The lease is already signed outside Propra or for record keeping.
Step 2: Choose your lease type
You may use:
Propra's default lease
Your uploaded custom lease form
If you add multiple forms (ex: parking or pet), they will be attached as additional agreements
Step 3: Save as Draft (internal review workflow)
If someone on your team (for example, an assistant) is preparing the lease but the property manager needs to review and sign it, you can use Save Draft.
Click Save Draft instead of signing
The lease is saved but not sent
A manager can open it later
Review all details and click through the pages
Make changes if needed
Then sign and send it
Use this when:
An assistant prepares the lease and a manager must approve it before sending.
How to Review a Lease Draft
Once a lease draft is ready for review, navigate to the application and select Continue Lease Offer. You will be prompted to choose how you'd like to proceed — select Create Lease Offer to move forward with the lease document attached.
The lease will pre-populate with the details your administrator has already entered, so this step is your opportunity to review everything before it goes out. Click through each page and make any changes as needed — adjustments to dates, terms, or any other fields can be made at this stage.
Once you're satisfied with the details, the agreement will be prepared for signing. Add your signature and then send the lease offer to the applicant to complete their signature.
Step 4: Review and send
Once ready:
Property manager reviews the lease
Signs digitally
If using WITH offer, invites the tenant to sign
Step 5: Tenant signs
Tenant receives an email
Logs into their Propra portal
Reviews and signs the lease
Final step – Lease completion
A finalized PDF is generated
Lease is saved under:
Unit → Lease DocumentsTenant also receives a copy
Once approved:
The listing automatically closes, no new applications can be submitted
Your new tenant is moved in
You’re All Set
Once the lease is signed and finalized, your campaign is complete and the listing is closed.
Now you have a new tenant.
Your lease documents are securely stored in Propra, and both you and your tenant have access to the signed agreement for your records.
