Answer 1

The class Property does not have a method get() defined.

Change Property.get(newMonthlyRent).equals( to Property.getMonthlyRent().equals(

Also, it seems that you are mixing Property a single property with the ArrayList myProperty which holds a list of all the properties

The get() method on the ArrayList will return the single Property instance, so in your addTenant() method, use myProperty.get(propertyNo).newTenant(tenantName);

UPDATE

Property.getLocation() returns a char not a String. A char doesn’t have an equals() method.

Change Property.getLocation().equals(location) to Property.getLocation() == location
