How do references work?

When applying for a rental property, Cubbi may send a reference request to each contact to verify the information you have provided in your application. Cubbi may send the reference request after you have submitted your application and if chosen by the owner managing the property.

If your references respond faster, without follow up, your application will be processed faster, putting your application up the top of the list.

References are an essential part of screening an application; it helps you prove you will pay the rent and look after the property. Remember: It's not what you know; it's what you can prove. (99% of the time, the Manager or Homeowner does not yet know you).

In some scenarios you may be able to see the status of the reference, not the reference itself.
