Edit/Archive a Property
Overview
To manage a property, open it from the Properties list → click the Actions button (top right) → choose Edit property to change its details, or Deactivate property to archive it. Edit the address from inside the General property details section.
Open the property
Edit the property's details
Edit the property address
Note: Use this only to correct an existing property's address. A genuinely different property is a separate record. Add it as a new property rather than editing this one.
Deactivate (archive) a property
Note: Deactivating ends the property’s current tenancy. Its status is set to Ended, managed rent is switched off, and the current tenants are emailed that the property was deactivated. A deactivated property is read-only but keeps its full history. Reactivating with Activate property brings the property back, but does not reinstate the ended tenancy. You'll need to set up a new tenancy. Only deactivate a property whose tenancy is genuinely over. Properties can't be deleted, so deactivate is how you remove one from your day-to-day work.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to edit the sections in order?
No. The property setup page isn't sequential. Open any section, make your change, and it saves on its own when you click Save and continue.
Why won't the General property details section save?
On the server, only the address fields are required. The Street address, Suburb, City, Post code and Country must be filled before it will save. Fields like Property type, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Garages and Authority to fix limit aren't required by the backend. If the form won't let you continue without one of them, that's a front-end prompt, so fill it in and try again.
Can I delete a property?
No. Properties can't be deleted. Use Actions → Deactivate property to archive it. It becomes read-only, keeps its full history, and you can bring it back any time with Activate property.
Can I edit a property after deactivating it?
Yes, but not while it's deactivated. Find the property in the Properties list and click it → click the Actions button → choose Activate property. Once it's active again you can make your changes.
