Welcome to Homebase! If you've made it to this article, it's probably because you've been invited to access a Homebase community.

  • A visitor access key is a temporary digital key sent to your phone by a building owner or manager, granting access to all doors you've been granted access to using only your phone.

  • Once the key expires, it automatically disappears from your phone.

This may be a new process for you, but don't worry: it's very simple.

  • Lookout for an email, text, or 6 digit Visitor Access code from a property staff member or resident.

  • Received an email? If you’re viewing on mobile, to redeem, simply launch the Homebase Resident App (no account required for iOS!) from the link provided in the email you receive.

  • After you enter the 6-digit code, you will be automatically logged in.

  • You’ll see a pop-up outlining the access times and usage for your Visitor Access. Enter your name to get started.

  • After you input your name, you will see a list of all the doors you have access to.

  • Tap the key icon when you are in Bluetooth range of a listed door to engage the lock and gain access.

  • You can 'Exit' and re-enter your code at any time during your access duration, and your access will automatically expire on your Visitor Access Key’s end date.
