If you've received an email from ApplySafe asking you to complete a reference check, it's because a rental applicant has listed you as a reference - as their current or previous property manager, current or previous employer or a personal contact. The request is legitimate and has been sent because the real estate agency managing the property uses ApplySafe to verify rental applications and the applicant has provided your contact details as part of their application.
The email includes a copy of the privacy statement signed by the applicant. This statement explains how the applicant's personal information and any reference information you provide is collected, used, disclosed and stored as part of the application process.
Please see Complete A Reference Check For An ApplySafe Rental Application for more information and steps.
