We recommend submitting the contact information of at least two references right after you finish setting up your profile so that we have time to check them before you start to connect with potential housemates. It is also a great way to make your Nesterly profile stand out to the housemate you’re interested in living with.
With that said, Hosts are only required to submit references when they are ready to initiate a booking with a Guest. Guests are required to submit references after they start to interact with Hosts.
