Run auto-reference checks

Auto-reference checks contact each reference on your applicant's application by email and text, and ask them to confirm or dispute what the applicant entered. They're part of Advanced Verifications: included at no extra cost with RentSpree PRO, or added to any screening request for $10 per applicant.

Include reference checks in your screening request

When you customize your screening package, include Advanced Verifications. Reference checks are sent out immediately when your applicant completes their application.

Send reference checks after someone applies

With RentSpree PRO, you can request references or documents after receiving a submitted application, even if Advanced Verifications weren't included up front:

  1. On your dashboard, select the submitted application.

  2. Select the Ref Checks tab at the top of the page.

  3. Send the reference request. Each reference gets an email and text with a link to respond online, and you can send a reminder if someone hasn't answered.

If your applicant left a reference's contact information blank or incorrect when they submitted, edit the reference's contact information from your dashboard and send the request after the fact. This works with or without RentSpree PRO, as long as Advanced Verifications are part of the screening.

Review the results

Each returned reference shows Verified or Disputed under Reference Status on the Ref Checks tab. If a reference disputes something, you can read their note about what was incorrect. You may need to verify your identity before viewing results.
