Every lockbox on your account is always in one of six statuses. The status drives which actions are available on the lockbox card.

The six statuses

What actions are available by status

Processing, Removal, and Return are passive states — there’s nothing to do until RentSmart advances them.

Status transitions

Typical flows: Buying a new Codebox:
  • Processing → Shipped → (you click Activate) → Unassigned → (assign to a property) → Connected
Linking an existing lockbox:
  • Processing → (after ~7 business days) → Unassigned → Connected
Removing a lockbox:
  • Connected → (swap off the property) → Unassigned → (Request Removal) → Removal → Return → disappears from your account
Request Removal is only available from Unassigned. If the lockbox is currently Connected to a property, you have to swap it off first to make Unassigned. Other statuses (Shipped, Processing, Return, Removal) don’t allow removal requests either.
