Rental history may soon influence credit scores
Landlords aren’t required to report to the three most popular credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, so years of on-time rental payments don’t necessarily influence first-time homebuyers’ all-important credit scores when they apply for a mortgage.
But that’s changing, Experian and TransUnion are beginning to include rental payment histories into credit files and will use them to calculate credit scores.
There are alternative credit reporting services available to first-time homebuyers, such as ECredable.com, that incorporate payment history information that isn’t reported to the major credit bureaus, such as phone and rental payments.
