Key points
Finalise the request-by-property ledger handoff
Filter the ledger to this property's wording and date range before choosing attachments. Keep other properties' requests on separate rows even when the same income source is used.
Useful context
Keep separate ledgers for separate property requests
A property-by-property ledger prevents instructions, attachments and due points from leaking between simultaneous applications.
The relevant distinction is the request by property ledger decision when answering the property follow-up.
Working checklist
Build the request-by-property ledger control
Filter the final ledger to the selected property before handoff.
The request-by-property ledger checklist is a control record, not a substitute for the recipient's instructions.
- Property: confirm which property this request-by-property ledger decision belongs to.
- Recipient: keep each ledger tied to the property contact who issued that request.
- Request date: timestamp each property ledger when its instruction arrived so versions stay in order.
- Item: copy each requested document or answer into its own ledger row rather than combining several property requests into one vague entry.
- Owner: maintain a separate applicant owner inside each property-request ledger row.

Working checklist
Move from request-by-property ledger to application preparation
Use the reviewed request-by-property ledger outcome to prepare the application, while leaving recipient decisions to the recipient.
Practical example
A renter's request-by-property ledger decision
Two agents request different date ranges. The renter records each wording on its own row and selects files independently, even though both applications use the same income source.

Risks to avoid with request by property ledger
