Associating a form with a user

I have posted here a few times, on various aspects about on application. It's a property app.

I have a Landlord, and Tenant profiles. In this scenario, I'm logged into a Landlord account. I'm currently viewing a prospective tenants profile. I click a button called "Start Tenancy" which redirected me to a from. I want to populate this form with the name of the tenant I just clicked on. How would I go about this?

Currently clicking this button sends me to a form, but I don't know to associate it with the user whose page I was just on. Is it as simple as using the id.

The controller that links to form

public function tenancyIndex(){

    return view('/pages/account/tenancy/create');
  }

Create form view.

<form action="#" method="POST">
  
  <div class="row">
  <div class="row mt-2">
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <label for="landlord-name">Landlord Name</label>
    </div> <!-- ./col=6 -->
  </div> <!-- ./ row-4-->
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <select class="form-control" name="landlord-name">
        <option >Landlord Name</option>
      </select>
    </div> <!-- ./ row 3-->
  </div> <!-- ./col-3 -->
  <div class="row mt-2">
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <label for="tenant-name">Tenant Name</label>
    </div> <!-- ./col=6 -->
  </div> <!-- ./ row-4-->
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <select class="form-control" name="tenant-name">
        <option>Tenant Name</option>
      </select>
    </div> <!-- ./ row 3-->
  </div> <!-- ./col-3 -->
  <button class="mt-2 btn btn-primary" type="submit">Create Watchlist</button>
</form> <!-- ./form -->

I have profiles set up already. I'm not sure if I should post that. This is a method in the same controller that opens up the profile page.

  public function index($id){
   //Authenticated different user types
   //Sends Landlord and Tenant to appropiate pages

   $user = User::where('id', $id)->first();
   $properties = PropertyAdvert::where('user_id', $id)->get();
   $property = WatchedProperties::all();
   $Watchlists = Watchlists::where('user_id', Auth::id())->get();
   $users = Auth::user();
   $tenancies = $users->tenancies();
   $tenancyRequests = $users->tenacyRequests();

  return view('/pages/account/index', compact('properties', 'user', 'Watchlists', 'property', 'tenancyRequests', 'tenancies', 'Watchlists'));
}

The accounting view is then different depending on if you're a landlord or tenant.
