Django Url not resolving when passing query parameters

Question

project urls.py:

url(r'^landlord/',include('Landlord.urls',namespace="landlord")),

landlord app urls.py:

 url(r'^edit/$', views.edit_property, name="edit_property"),
    url(r'^edit/(?P<id>[-\w]+)/$', views.edit_property_form, name="edit_property_form"),

The url written in the browser is "landlord/edit/?id=1". But it is resolving to first url only.

Resolves to views.edit_property only even though parameter is passed — Amarendra Reddy

If you're using a form, don't put the values in the URL anyway. Get them from the request body. — Alex Hall

I am asking the user if needs to edit it. If he clicks edit then i am redirecting to a page with the id he wants to edit. So i want to pass id as a query parameter. — Amarendra Reddy

In that case I would link them to the page landlord/edit/1/. — Alex Hall

/(?P<id>[-\w]+)/ is not a query parameter, it's part of the main URL. It's expecting a URL like landlord/edit/1/.
