Rent reporting is how we report tenants' on-time rental payments to credit bureaus. It can benefit everyone but is especially helpful for renters who need a credit history. It also allows them to build their credit history without taking on additional debt, for a low monthly cost!
Your tenants can opt into this subscription service at any time.
