Are you in the presence of the prospective tenant? 

The system allows you to fill in the rental request with or without the potential tenant. If you happen to be with them, click Yes to start filling up the forms. Otherwise, hit No and the candidat will receive the form through email within 24 hours, they will then be able to complete it and return it to you when they are done.

Step 1

Register the information related to the unit you would like to rent. If you have already used ProprioLocation in the past for the same building, click on Select an address and pick the correct unit. Once selected, click on Use this address to import all of its information automatically. If you are renting a never used address, you can manually write their information in the Apartment for rent section. When you are done with this request, the unit's information will be registered to your account for you tu use at a later date.
