You can invite tenants with a mailing to self-register through your public site. This option is convenient when the tenant's email address is unavailable.

1. Enable the Resident Center sign in on your public site's home page.

2. Read through the tenant's Welcome letter mailing template. Make changes as needed so your letter fits your company. It's best to leave the instructions on how to complete the process on your public site as written.

   This sign in option does not require a password. Instead, your tenants will use their name and email address to self- authenticate.

3. Generate the Welcome letter as a mailing.

4. Send the mailing to your tenants.

   Save time! Use our EZMail service and we'll print and mail the letter for you.

This option is only available if the tenant has been invited to the tenant website already.

To sign in as a tenant:

1. Navigate to Rentals > Tenants
2. Click on the tenant's name.
3. On tenant's summary page, locate the Tenant website section.
4. Click the Sign in as user link.
5. The website will open in a new window. You will be signed in as the tenant without need for a password.

If you change the email address for the tenant, there's no need to reset the password. The tenant will retain the ability to log in with their old password and new email address.

1. Navigate to Rentals > Tenants.
2. Click on the tenant's name.
3. On tenant's summary page, locate the Tenant website section.
4. Click the Reset and email password link.

   Buildium will generate a new temporary password and email it to the tenant. We display this password for you to see as the Most recent action in the Tenant website section.

   This password changes each time the webpage is refreshed. If you need to communicate the password to the tenant over the phone or in person, do so immediately.
