How to Add a Landlord to a Deal

Sometimes when you try and add a Landlord to a deal on the Propoly platform, you will be given an error telling you the email address is already in use.

This is because you have tried to create a new record in Propoly, when a record with that email address already exists elsewhere. Propoly will not allow duplicates to be created, so you will be given this error.

However, there is no need to worry! Adding the landlord is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Follow the instructions below to add the tenant to your deal.

Step 1: Open the Deal

The first step is to open up the deal that you need to add the landlord onto. This can be done by navigating to the deal in your account or by clicking on the deal link in an email notification.

Step 2: Select "+Add" in the Landlords Section

On the left hand sidebar, you will see the Landlords section. Find and click on the "Add +" button within this section.

This will take you to the "Add a Landlord" screen, where you can start the process of adding a new landlord to the deal.

Step 3: Locate the "Search Tenant" Box

On the "Add a Landlord" screen, you will see a white search bar. This is where you will enter the landlord's information to add them to the deal.

Step 4: Enter the Landlord's Email Address

In the "Search Landlord" box, enter the email address for the landlord you are trying to add to the deal.

This will find the record that already exists within the Propoly platform. Find the Landlord in the list of results to populate the "Add a Landlord" screen with their details.

Step 5: Submit the Details

Take a moment to check that the details you have pulled through are correct, and make any necessary updates. Once you have, click on the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page.

This will add the Landlord to the deal and they will now be listed in the landlords section.

That's it! You have successfully added the landlord to your deal. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for help.
