There are circumstances where you may need to place a property on hold in the system. Some examples of this are:
The property is on stop credit
The property is in a state in which it isn't possible to complete tasks or carry out routine maintenance (ie major construction)
When a property is placed on hold, tasks will not longer generate for that property and incomplete tasks generated before the property was placed on hold need to be manually set to the Not Ready status.
Placing a property on hold:
In order to place a Property on hold:
Go to the property in question and then click update
Click on the field marked "Status", and choose "On hold" from the resulting drop-down menu.
Click the blue button in the bottom-right corner labelled "Save property".
Fill out the field giving the reason as to why the property being placed on hold (ie. bad payer, too many overdue invoices etc.)
