If you’re having trouble registering for your Housing Online account, we have created these step-by-step instructions to help you.
Step 1: Creating your account
On the Housing Online 'login' page you will see two options to register:
- Existing Applicants and Tenants – Register: Choose this option if you are a tenant or if you have submitted a Housing Application.
- New Customers – Register: Choose this option if you are a new customer.
You will then be directed to the registration page.
On the registration page you will need to:
- Type in your email address (get help to set up an email account)
- Create a password - only use letters and numbers, no special characters such as / ! $ £
- Click on 'next'
To complete your registration, you will need to verify your email address. The email address you verify will be the email you will use to log-in in future, and where password reset information will be sent. You will need to do this straight away.
Step 2: Email verification
You should have received an email asking you to verify your email address to continue registering for you Housing Online account.
If you have not received this email, please check your junk and spam folders. The link in the email verification will expire after one hour. Check back over this hour to be sure you haven’t received it.
If you have given us the wrong email address or the link expires, you will need to start the registration process again.
Click on the link to verify your email address.
After clicking on the link, you can continue registering and you will be directed back to the Housing Online portal.
