How to Delete or Archive a Property
- In the sidebar, select Properties.
- On the property’s row, select the Property actions menu (the three dots).
- Choose Delete. Propurti checks what the property holds and opens a dialog that names the action it will take.
⚠️ Heads up: Propurti decides the action for you. A property with a tenant living in it is never deleted. The dialog is titled “End the lease and archive” followed by the property name, and its button reads End lease & archive.
- Read the dialog. It lists what Propurti keeps, such as the lease, the security deposit and rent payments.
⚠️ Heads up: Archiving does not return or withhold the tenant’s security deposit. The dialog says “The tenant’s security deposit still needs to be settled.” Finish the move-out to settle it.
- Select the confirm button, or select Cancel to leave the property unchanged. The confirm button reads one of these:
- End lease & archive: a tenant lives in the property. Propurti ends the lease and archives the property.
- Archive property: the property is vacant but has past records. Propurti archives it and keeps the records.
- Delete property: the property has nothing attached to it. Propurti removes it permanently. Select Archive instead if you would rather keep it.
What to expect
After End lease & archive, Propurti shows “Lease ended and property archived” and lists what it kept. After Archive property, the property leaves your active list and you can restore it later. After Delete property, Propurti shows “Property deleted” and the property is gone for good.

| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The dialog does not offer Delete property | The property has a tenant or past records | Use Archive property or End lease & archive. Propurti keeps those records on purpose |
| The dialog says “We couldn’t check what this would affect” | The safety check did not load | Select Cancel, then try again. Nothing was changed |
| You archived a property by mistake | The property left your active list | Open Properties, find the archived property, and choose Restore to active from Property actions |
