We're excited to welcome you to your new home. Below is what to expect before and on the first day of your lease.
Before your lease start date
After you sign your lease, Alcove sends move-in emails with your move-in checklist, home-specific details, and where to find access information in your Alcove Portal.
Depending on your home, your move-in details may include:
- Your move-in checklist
- Specific access information for the home
- Photos of your bedroom at the time of move-in, when available
- Notes about ongoing or scheduled repairs, if applicable
Accessing the home on your lease start date
Your access methods will be available in your Alcove Portal starting at 9:00 AM on your lease start date. You can move in any time on or after your lease start date once your access is active.
You may see separate access methods for the property/front door and your bedroom. Some homes use keypad codes for both. Other homes may include a lockbox, physical key, or landlord-provided access method for a specific access point.
How to find your access
- Log in to your Alcove Portal.
- Click My Alcove.
- Choose Access & Resident Info from the left-hand menu.
If access is missing or not working on move-in day, contact tenant support at support@alcoverooms.com, call or text 919-925-5755, or submit a ticket through your Alcove Support Portal.
