      Auctioning a Unit

      Granting manager access to a unit and declaring an auction winner.

      Note: For this process to work correctly, make sure that you leave the original tenant in the PMS after the auction sale, the unit should not be vacated in PMS until the Auction winner has cleared the contents and/or the timeframe for doing so has expired.
      The only reason the auction winner can have access to this unit is that the Nokē Smart Entry system is reading the delinquent/auctioned status from the PMS.

      Once the unit is vacated in the PMS, we remove all assigned users, assume the unit is ready to rent again and restore manager access to the available unit.

      The Overlock state is assigned from your property management software (PMS). 

      Note: You might need a manager to assign the Manage Auctions permissions to your role, depending on how your company handles roles and permissions. For more information, click here: Accessing Occupied Units Overview

      Once the assigned employee opens the unit, the unit state automatically updates to Pending Auction and stays in this state until the tenant pays her bill or an auction buyer is assigned. During this period, the tenant, the shared users, or the managers have access to the unit.

        Note: For assigned employee access to work correctly, the permission Open Repossessed Units must be removed from the assigned user’s role type.

        After assigning both selections, Allow Employee Access and Auction Unit, there will be an option to Unassign from Auction. This button can be used to revert the unit to the tenant and state that it was in before the auction process started. 

        After both options (Allow Employee Access and Auction Unit) there will be an option to Reassign Auction Access where the unit can be re-auctioned or given new employee access. 

        Note: New users (Auction Winner and Allow Employee Access) can be assigned before the access of the original assignment has been used up or the date has passed. In this case, the new user will receive access to the unit for her newly assigned access type, and the old user's access will be revoked.
