Key points
Finalise the property request tracker handoff
Keep the unavailable item visible with its reason and the exact alternative question sent to the recipient. Close the tracker only after the recipient accepts an alternative or changes the request.
Useful context
Track a property request when one item is unavailable
An unavailable-item tracker keeps the original wording, owner, status and clarification visible without inventing completion.
The relevant distinction is an unresolved availability gap.
Working checklist
Build the property request tracker control
Close only the items confirmed by the recipient or the renter's own review.
Do not close the property request tracker review while a material field depends on an assumption.
- Request wording: state the narrow question that this property request tracker entry is intended to answer.
- Owner: assign the unavailable item and proposed alternative to the applicant whose request row is affected.
- Status: distinguish requested, unavailable, alternative proposed and resolved so one missing item is not mistaken for the whole file.
- Due point: copy the recipient's deadline or follow-up trigger; do not invent one for the tracker.
- Clarification needed: state the narrow question that this property request tracker entry is intended to answer.
