Were you renting before you lived with your GF? If so then you can give contact details of previous landlord, this is what i did with my current landlord. If you work, maybe your employer can give you a reference?

Do you mean your GF's current landlord is asking for references or a potential new landlord?Either way, a new landlord will do a credit check on you, they may also ask for bank statements to check affordability.If you've never worked and were living with parents before then you should explain this to the landlord. If your GF doesn't work there could be problems finding a LL that will accept DSS tenants and if you are luckly they may ask for a guarantor.This link may help. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/housing/renting-privately/private-renting/checks-your-landlord-or-letting-agent-will-make/
