We’re sorry you’re having trouble getting into your unit — let’s resolve this quickly so you can settle in!

🔑 Step 1: Recheck Check-In Instructions
Before reaching out, please take a moment to carefully review the following:

  • Log into your Vidle Housing dashboard

  • Under "My Trips", select the booking, and review your check-in instructions

  • Confirm:

    • You’re at the correct address or unit number

    • You’re using the right entry method (lockbox, smart lock, keypad, etc.)

    • You’ve entered the correct code

Many issues can be resolved with a quick recheck of the details provided.

💬 Step 2: Contact Your Host

If you’re still having trouble, message your host directly through the Vidle Housing platform. Make sure to include the following information so they can assist you faster:

  • The address or unit number you’re at

  • The entry method (e.g., lockbox, keypad, smart lock)

  • The code you tried (you can share just the last few digits)

  • Any error messages or physical issues with the lock

This gives the host the full context they need to help troubleshoot.

🚨 Step 3: No Response? Contact Support

If your host doesn’t respond, or if you're experiencing an emergency (e.g., late-night arrival, bad weather, or safety concern), reach out to Vidle Support right away.

We’ll:

  • Contact your host directly

  • Help troubleshoot access
