Experian RentBureau, by working with electronic rent payment services, now offers property managers, individual landlords and independent rental owners with 500 or less units the opportunity to realize many of the same benefits available to larger apartment owners that currently report their rental payments.

Reduce Your Administrative Burden

Once you and your tenants sign up for a rent payment service, your tenants' rent payments are automatically deducted from their bank account and transferred into yours. Now you can spend less time following up with tenants to get their rent checks, waiting for checks to arrive in the mail or worrying if the check will clear.

Realize More Steady Cash Flow Through On-Time Rental Payments

Because tenants can opt-in to reporting their rental payment data to Experian RentBureau and their positive rental payments may be reported on their Experian credit reports, tenants have an incentive to consistently pay their rent on time. This results in landlords receiving more steady cash flow and on-time payments.

Offer Tenants a Credit History Building Amenity

By offering tenants a service that allows them to report their rental payments to Experian RentBureau you give them the ability to build their credit history. This helps your tenants get the credit they deserve for managing the payments for the place they call home and allows you to stand out from your competition.

“In the long run, having a two-year excellent credit line for my rental payments will add value by helping me to potentially receive lower interest rates on a mortgage and car and consumer loans. I may even get a better rate on insurance premiums.”

— B. Scott, Multifamily resident
