Logging in and getting started

Home at Halls is secure – just like any other online Kent service, you’ll need to use your Kent email address to log in.

The first time you login and use Home at Halls you will need to use the login link emailed to you by the Accommodation Team. This is because the link will contain information specific to you which the app needs the first time you use it. After this, you can login and use the app/online pages as usual.
