To better understand how to view a property at your own convenience, please watch the short video below. This shows you all the steps needed to obtain an access code.

If the listing says “Schedule Agent Showing”, this property requires an agent to show you around. After you click this button, you will need to login, and then you can select a showing time that works for you and the agent.
If neither button is present, this property is not yet available for rent and you will need to contact the property manager for further details.
There are a couple of reasons things might have gone wrong:
First, make sure you put the code in correctly.
If multiple attempts do not work, this lock must not be synced properly. This means you cannot complete the showing at this time.
Contact the property manager to let them know the codes did not work. Click on the blue Chat bubble on the bottom right to speak with a live Rently agent.
A Rently lockbox looks like the picture below (the color may vary) and is typically on the front door, but in some instances, the property manager may put it in a more discreet location.
Please check the listing to see if the property manager left any notes. If not, check the other doors around the property (garage, back door, side door). If you still cannot locate the lockbox, the property may no longer be available for rent, but the property manager did not get a chance to notify us yet.
Please contact the property manager directly to check the status. You can find their contact info on the Rently listing.
Do the numbers light up on the keypad? If not, it means the battery is dead and unfortunately you cannot complete the showing at this time.
If the numbers do light up, it may mean that the motor is jammed. Try pushing down on the top of the box and up from the bottom. By pushing the box together in this manner, it should un-lodge the motor.
If this does not work, it may mean that the box is not synced properly, and unfortunately, you cannot view the property at this time. Please contact the property manager and let them know so that they can come to replace the box.
You can click the blue Chat bubble on the bottom right for immediate assistance or submit a ticket below and someone from our support team will reach out to the property manager for you.
Someone must have forgotten to put the key back in the Lockbox or the property manager has not stopped by to put the key in the box yet.
Unfortunately, this means you cannot complete the showing at this time. Please contact the property manager to alert them that the key is missing. For immediate assistance, you can click the blue Chat bubble on the bottom right or submit a ticket below and we will alert the property manager for you.
Look around the property to see if there are any other locks. The key may not be for the door you expect it to be.
If the key doesn’t work for any of the locks, the property manager may have put the wrong key inside the lockbox. Unfortunately, this means you cannot complete the showing at this time.
Please contact the property manager to let them know that the key doesn’t work or submit a ticket below and we will alert the property manager for you.
The serial number should be displayed clearly at the top of the lockbox. (Please see picture below)
If the lockbox resembles the picture above but the serial number is not clearly displayed, the numbers may have rubbed off.
Please check the back of the box. If you do not see the serial number on the back of the box either, it’s likely not a Rently lockbox. Rently only uses lockboxes with a keypad and the boxes are usually dark blue, black, orange, or light beige in color. We do not use lockboxes that have a number wheel. Often times property managers put 2 lockboxes on the property, 1 for renters and 1 for maintenance workers or realtors.
Unfortunately, if you do not see a Rently lockbox on the property, you will not be able to complete the showing through Rently at this time. Try contacting the property manager to discuss other showing options.
First, make sure you put the code in correctly.
If multiple attempts do not work, this lock must not be synced properly. This means you cannot complete the showing at this time.

Please note that Rently is a self-showing option for renters to view properties at their own convenience. We do not offer separate accounts for realtors or MLS agents at this time.
If you still wish to tour the property, you will need to create an account as if you are a Renter. You can also contact the Property Manager/Owner to ask for “vendor” access.
Vendor access is at the discretion of the Property Manager/Owner. Rently does not provide vendor access.
Rently does not pay commissions to realtors or MLS agents. Please contact the Property Manager/Owner directly to see if any arrangements can be made.
The Property Manager will need to provide you with an access code. If you already have an access code and are still having trouble entering the property, please contact the Property Manager/Owner directly for assistance, as they may need to give you a new code or reset your account.
We’re sorry to see you go. If you no longer wish to receive texts or emails from us, there is an Unsubscribe link at the bottom of every alert we send to you. You can also cancel your account from the Settings tab.
