Resident Dashboard
The Resident Dashboard is your central hub for everything related to your home and community.
Joining Your Community
You can join PorchQ from an email invitation link or by entering a community join code in the mobile app before you sign in.
If your board or property manager gave you a join code, tap I have an invite code, enter the code, and PorchQ will show the community name and requested role before you continue. Some communities require board approval after you submit the request; if so, your account will connect to the community once that approval is complete.
