Completing a Maintenance Request (Contracted Operator)

When you’re assigned a maintenance request in Propra, you’ll have everything you need to review the issue, coordinate with the resident, and complete the work—all in one place.


Getting Assigned a Request

Once a property management company assigns you a maintenance request:

  • You’ll receive an email notification

  • Click the link in the email to open the task

Reviewing the Request Details

The task will include all information provided by the resident and property manager, such as:

  • Property address

  • Tenant name and contact information

  • Description of the issue

  • Category (e.g. appliance, electrical, door, etc.)

  • Date the issue occurred

  • Answers to any troubleshooting questions

  • Preferred time for access (if provided)

  • Additional notes from the property manager

Review everything carefully before reaching out.


Scheduling the Visit

You are responsible for coordinating with the resident:

  • Contact the tenant using the provided details

  • Schedule a date and time to attend the unit

While on the Job

When you arrive on-site, you can open the task directly from your phone or tablet using the original link.

From there, you can:


Add Notes

  • Tenant Notes:
    Share updates, tips, or instructions with the resident (e.g. how to prevent the issue going forward)

  • Manager Notes:
    Provide details to the property management company (e.g. work completed, issues found, recommendations)

  • Be sure to press "Save" when you are finished typing in the notes

Upload Photos

  • Add photos directly to the task

  • Before and after photos are recommended

Add Invoice Details

  • Enter your invoice information

  • Upload your invoice document

  • Be sure to click “Save Document” after uploading

  • Invoice documents cannot be uploaded if the maintenance request has been closed

Completing the Request

Once the work is finished:

  • Mark the request as Complete

If the Request Can’t Be Completed

You also have the option to:

  • Select Unable to Complete Request

  • Add notes explaining why (e.g. access issues, parts required)

If Follow-Up Is Needed

If additional work is required:

  • Indicate that a follow-up is needed (this option will be available after you complete the request)

    • You need to return at a later time

    • Another operator is required


This will notify the property management company so they can take the next steps.

Enter the reason for requesting another appointment and then select 'Submit'
