Listings

Create rental listings, manage applications, screen tenants, and send lease offers.

Written by Karyn Millar

The Listings page, located on the dashboard menu, is where you manage rental listings for vacant or upcoming vacant units.

A listing in Propra is the advertisement of a unit that needs to be filled. Listings are used to market available rentals, collect applications, screen applicants, and generate lease agreements.

A completed listing can include:

  • Floor plans

  • Photos

  • Unit descriptions

  • Amenities

  • Video links

  • Rent amounts

  • Square footage

  • Contact details

The application process can also be fully prepared in advance, including:

  • Lease forms ready for signature

  • Document request requirements

  • Additional lease terms

  • Signature order settings (applicants sign first or managers sign first)

Automatic Listing Creation

Listings are automatically created when a unit becomes vacant.

When this happens:

  1. Go to the Listings page

  2. Locate the listing by scrolling or using the search bar

Automatically generated listings will display a purple flag.

If you recently created a new property or unit, please allow time for the system to recognize the vacancy. You may need to refresh your page before the listing appears.

Vacancy Threshold Settings

If a unit is not currently vacant, you must create the listing manually.

A unit may not appear as available if the current lease end date is beyond your configured expiry threshold settings.

To adjust these settings:

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Select Lease and Unit

  3. Open Expiry Threshold

Please note that the ability to edit these settings depends on your user permissions.

Listings Overview

The Listings page displays:

  • Property name

  • Activation date

  • Ready to Review count

  • Listing status

Ready to Review

The Ready to Review column shows how many new applications have been submitted for the listing.

Listing Statuses

Listings can display the following statuses:

Active

The listing link is live and accepting applications.

Inactive

The listing link is currently disabled and unavailable to applicants.

Closed

The listing has ended.

Listings may close:

  • Manually by a user

  • Automatically when all listed units have been filled

To view previous listings, enable Show Closed Listings.

Listing Actions

Select the three-dot menu beside a listing to:

  • Edit the listing

  • Share the listing

  • Deactivate the listing

  • End the listing

Editing Listings

When editing a listing, changes do not automatically update the active public link.

Examples of edits include:

  • Updating floor plans

  • Changing photos

  • Updating square footage

  • Adjusting market rent

  • Editing descriptions

To update the live public listing after edits:

  1. Deactivate the listing

  2. Reactivate the listing

This creates a new active link with the updated information.

Sharing Listings

Listings can be shared in several ways.

Email Sharing

You can send the listing directly by email.

When entering email addresses:

  • Type the email address

  • Press Enter to save it

  • Continue adding additional recipients if needed

Important Application Guidance

You should only send the listing application link to the primary lease holder.

The primary applicant can then add co-applicants within the application process.

If multiple lease holders each receive separate application links and submit individual applications:

  • Multiple disconnected applications will be created

  • The applications will not merge together

  • Lease information cannot be combined into one lease form

The intended workflow is to keep all lease holders on a single application so you can:

  • Review all applicant information together

  • Send one lease agreement

  • Collect all signatures on a single document

Reapplying After Errors

If applicants experience issues and need to restart the application process:

  1. Create a new listing

  2. Generate a new link

  3. Send the updated listing link

Once applicants have created a Propra portal account and submitted an application, the system remembers their information.

This includes:

  • Previously entered details

  • Uploaded documents

Applicants can simply review and update information instead of starting from scratch.

Copying and Posting Listing Links

You can also:

  • Copy the listing link

  • Post it on external websites

  • Share it manually

Propra does not currently post listings automatically to external listing websites.

QR Code Sharing

Listings can also be shared using a QR code.

This is useful for:

  • Property showings

  • In-person tours

  • Open houses

You can also open listings directly within the Property Manager App.

To access listings in the app:

  1. Open the app

  2. Select the property

  3. Select Listings

Deactivating vs Ending Listings

Deactivate Listing

Deactivating a listing:

  • Disables the public application link

  • Stops new applications

  • Keeps all existing applications intact

End Listing

Ending a listing:

  • Closes the listing completely

  • Removes it from the active listings page

Creating a New Listing

To create a listing manually:

  1. Go to Listings

  2. Select Create New Listing

  3. Choose the property

  4. Select the unit(s)

If a unit is unavailable, this is usually related to your vacancy threshold settings.

Enter Listing Details

After selecting units, enter:

  • Bedrooms

  • Bathrooms

  • Square footage

  • Rent amount

Please select the units before entering this information.

You can then:

  • Save the listing as a draft

  • Publish the listing immediately

Saving allows you to continue editing later.

Viewing Listing Details

Once created, click into the listing to view additional information.

You can view:

  • Unit types

  • Total units

  • Included units

  • Rent amounts

  • Applications and applicant details

Applications will display:

  • Primary applicant names

  • Co-applicants

  • Submission dates

  • Review statuses

  • Application statuses

In Progress Applications

If an application status shows In Progress, this means:

  • The primary applicant has submitted their application

  • One or more co-applicants have not yet completed theirs

Reviewing Applications

To review an application, click directly on the application.

Application Status Indicators

The application page displays summary metrics including:

  • Average residency duration

  • Income-to-rent ratio

  • Employment duration

The application details section shows all information entered by applicants.

If sections are blank, the applicant did not complete those fields.

Review Status Icons

To update review statuses:

  1. Select the three-dot menu

  2. Choose a review indicator

Icons include:

  • Magnifying glass — reviewing the application and conducting checks

  • Phone — contacting references

  • Face icons (sad, neutral, happy) — organizing applicant quality and fit

These tools help organize and manage your leasing workflow.

Tenant Screening

Applicants can be screened through SingleKey directly from the application.

Using the provided link gives applicants a discount on screening services.

If an application exists in the system, the applicant has already agreed to your application terms, including consent for background checks.

Application Documents

The Documents tab displays all uploaded files from all applicants within the application.

Examples include:

  • Identification

  • Proof of income

  • References

  • Supporting documents

Documents can be downloaded as needed.

Once an application is approved and a lease is created, the application remains stored in Propra for future reference.

You may also save documents and upload them into the lease document section if desired.

Internal Notes

The Notes tab is for internal-only comments and observations.

Notes entered here are not shared with applicants or owners.

Lease applications cannot currently be shared with owners.

Declining Applications

To decline an application:

  1. Select Decline Application

You will then choose between:

  • Decline without notification

  • Notify and decline

Decline Without Notification

This changes the application status internally only.

Notify and Decline

This allows you to send a message to applicants informing them that their application was declined.

The announcement message can be edited before sending.

Applications can be declined even if co-applicants are still in progress.

Once an application is declined, it cannot later be approved.

Approving Applications and Sending Lease Offers

Applications cannot be approved until all applicants have completed their submissions. You cannot approve an application from a closed listing.

To approve an application:

  1. Select Send Lease Offer

You can then choose to:

  • Send a lease offer for signature

  • Create the lease manually without generating documents

Selecting the Unit

The system automatically selects the originally applied-for unit.

For example:

If a listing includes:

  • Studio units

  • One-bedroom units

  • Two-bedroom units

And the applicant applied for a one-bedroom unit, the system will automatically select a one-bedroom unit.

You may also manually change the selected unit if needed.

Preparing the Lease

Next, enter:

  • Lease details

  • Forms requiring review and signature

  • Additional lease information

You can then:

  • Save as draft

  • Download the lease form for in-person signing

  • Send the lease digitally for signatures

Signature order depends on your configured signature settings.

Lease Signing Process

Once the lease has been sent:

  • Applicants receive an email notification with a link that will take them to their Propra portal

  • They can review and sign the lease digitally

If multiple applicants are using the same device, each person must log out after signing so the next signer can access their own account.

Completed Lease Documents

Once signed:

  • The lease agreement becomes available in the residents portal

  • Signed documents are stored in the Lease Documents tab

You can also share signed lease documents with owners.

To share:

  1. Select the three-dot menu beside the document

  2. Choose Share

Once complete, the unit is filled and your new tenant has officially been onboarded into Propra.
