- You usually receive the resident's information via email, immediately. It is an automated message sent directly from our website, so there is typically no delay in receiving it. However yahoo users may experience a few hours delay this year due to the high volume of mails. Please look out for your email and when it arrives save securely, as lost emails cannot be retrieved at a later date. Provided you entered your email address correctly, you will have your resident details in your inbox, write your resident details down. If you cannot find the email, please check your JUNK / SPAM folder, and move the message to your inbox and write it down, otherwise it will auto-delete from your junk / spam folder.
