Alternatively, make sure your EB partner has unlocked the housing area properly, so they can go from the city to the housing area (via aetheryte and via the other "shortcut"). It might be a similar (and probably unintended) "glitch" to the attempt to ringport to a map you haven't fully explored.
I made him do the quest before so he could water my crops while I was out of town once, glad it was only temporary like I assumed. Thank you.
