Keyfriends

You can use the Keyfriend option to share the key to your apartment with a neighbour or your partner.

We suggest to invite at least one Keyfriend who can help you out in case of emergency.

For example to help out when you forget your phone in your room. (Saves 65 euro, for the Lock Out service).

How to start sharing your digital key:

Go to the My Keys page to invite a friend.

Your Keyfriend will receive your invitation in his mail. From this point we have two sets of instructions for your keyfriend because they differ depending on the situation.

Keyfriend Instructions for students who already have a digital key and live in a Keyless De Key Apartment

3. Open the Accept keyfriend invitation section.

GOOD TO KNOW:

1. You can only share one digital key to a person who doesn't have a digital key yet!

2. Sharing a key to someone else is a one-way share.

3. You can easily stop sharing a key by looking up the keyshare on the My Keys page and clicking on the X. It will first say "Pending", when the line dissapears your friend will no longer have access to your apartment.

4. When your tenancy agreement ends or you move to another room for some reason all keyshares will be deleted automatically.
