What Pet Size does in Proplix
Pet Size is part of Proplix Applicants, Renters & Pre-Tenancy and is designed to record a practical pet-size category where it is relevant to the application. It keeps pet-size information and the pet it describes against the applicant and property context that gives it meaning.
Within the wider Pets & Preferences workflow, Pet Size supports pet information and property-related conditions that can be considered before the application progresses and should lead towards the declaration has enough context for property-specific review without rebuilding the same information from public forms, inboxes or spreadsheets.
Why this capability matters before tenancy onboarding
Pet Size matters because pet restrictions or suitability checks depend on the declared animal's size. If pet-size information and the pet it describes is scattered across separate records, the next colleague may have to work out which applicant, property and version is current before acting.
A structured Pet Size record supports the declaration has enough context for property-specific review while reducing the risk that the applicant's expectations and the property's pet conditions diverge because the declaration or restriction is not visible early enough and keeping human review, privacy controls and the organisation's fair decision process intact.

The point in the journey
Pet restrictions or suitability checks depend on the declared animal's size. Pet Size gives that moment a defined place so the applicant and property relationship does not get lost.

- 03
Make the record understandable

- 04
Review the property conditions
When Pet Size is reviewed, compare pet-size information and the pet it describes with the relevant property policy or approval conditions. The record supports the declaration has enough context for property-specific review but does not make a legal or suitability decision automatically.

Pet Size keeps pet-size information and the pet it describes attached to the applicant and property context in which it is needed.
Structured information
Instead of leaving pet-size information and the pet it describes in free-form messages, Pet Size gives it a repeatable structure that supports record a practical pet-size category where it is relevant to the application.
Property-specific conditions
Pet Size keeps pet-size information and the pet it describes attached to the property and application that give it meaning instead of turning the declaration into a generic assumption about the renter.
Workflow continuity
Pet Size can carry the context needed for the declaration has enough context for property-specific review into the next authorised stage without asking for the same facts again.
What Pet Size looks like in practice
Consider a case where pet restrictions or suitability checks depend on the declared animal's size. The applicant or authorised team member uses Pet Size from the relevant property or application context, so pet-size information and the pet it describes is captured against the record that will actually be reviewed.
A second authorised colleague can see what was provided, identify missing detail and, if the case progresses, hand only the context needed for the declaration has enough context for property-specific review into the next authorised stage.
How to introduce Pet Size into a live applicant workflow
For Pet Size, implementation should keep information proportionate to its purpose, clearly owned and dependable through corrections, exceptions and handoffs.
Give Pet Size a clear owner before rollout. Decide who is responsible for pet-size information and the pet it describes, which values are applicant-supplied and which authorised staff may amend or review them.
Keep Pet Size proportionate to record a practical pet-size category where it is relevant to the application. Make optional detail clear and protect public entry points with appropriate access, transport and rate controls.
Test the normal case and realistic exceptions such as missing information, a correction after submission, an unavailable property or a revoked invitation before handing the context into the next workflow.
Who works with Pet Size before a tenancy is created
Pet Size supports the authorised people who provide, organise, review or progress this part of the applicant journey.
Keep Pet Size data, decisions and permissions aligned
Pet Size can involve personal or financial information. Apply least-privilege access, privacy notices, retention rules and lawful data handling to pet-size information and the pet it describes.
A structured record improves consistency but does not verify pet-size information and the pet it describes automatically; authorised users should correct material errors before relying on it.
Any decision informed by Pet Size should remain fair, explainable and limited to the legitimate purpose of record a practical pet-size category where it is relevant to the application, while preserving the same applicant and property identity across handoff.
