How Landlords Can Report Rent for Tenants

Landlords can now opt-in to report all a tenant’s on-time rent payments to TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax! This helps to lift a tenant’s overall credit score and is a great perk to offer your tenants.

Benefits of Landlords Reporting Rent for Tenants

Rent reporting for landlords is a great service for both them and their tenants. Primarily, landlords can incentivize tenants to pay their rent on time and have a great perk to offer potential tenants when trying to fill a vacancy.

Additionally, tenants benefit from rent reporting by seeing a boost in their credit when they pay on time!

• 7 in 10 renters are more likely to make on-time payments if landlords report those payments to a credit bureau (TransUnion).
• If choosing between two identical apartments, 67% of renters said they would choose the apartment with payment reporting (TransUnion).
• Tenants’ credit scores may increase by as much as 26 basis points following a year of rent payment reporting (TransUnion).
