To terminate a PRS agreement

Parent Previous Next

Using the End Agreement action button, a proposed end date can be linked to the PRS agreement but then subsequently revised should circumstances change. Once the outcome is finalised, the action can be repeated, but this time entering an official end date. Where the current PRS agreement is to be maintained, these dates can easily be cleared by initiating the action afresh, with the associated episode remaining active.


The procedure to terminate a PRS agreement is as follows:

  1. Using the global search facility, type in the first few characters of either the responsible contact for the PRS agreement or the privately owned asset address 1.
  2. Double-click on the row containing the exact record match. Where the expected record is not listed, a more advanced search can be conducted using the spy-glass icon ().
  3. Click on Agreements (contact summary 360 view) or History (for an asset) 2. The Agreements tile (or History tab) is activated, revealing a list of all agreements associated with the contact (or asset) in the Agreements (or Rent) summary table.

Note

1 The search facility will automatically return all possible matches for a contact's first name and last name once the Number of characters before an automatic search commences system preference is reached; it will likewise return all possible matches for any corresponding address field.

2 The availability and customisation of all Contact Summary 360 View tiles is controlled separately for each end user via their unique system profile.

3 The Notice received date defaults to the current system date and cannot be advanced into the future.

4 These custom values can be populated by the end user via the system parameter entitled PRS termination reasons.

5 The field will operate as a dynamic search function and match against any element of the property address, based on the successive characters entered.

6 Only one postal address can be effective for a contact group at any one time; where overlapping Effective from and Effective to dates are detected, the end user will be asked to amend the values accordingly.

7 The system preferences Default agreement episode end reason and Default agreement occupation end reason govern the automatic selection of valid reason codes in each entry; where no default values are configured, this contextual information will be omitted.
