Rent Reporting helps Housing Providers reduce their risk while rewarding great renters.

When to Pull a Credit Check on a Tenant?

The average Tenant credit score is 650, and the odds of getting a responsible tenant exceed 90%. However, when Housing Providers get Renters who pay late repeatedly, miss payments altogether, or damage the property beyond normal wear and tear, it can cost them an average of $11,000 per eviction.

To attract and choose the right Renters, Housing Providers need a thorough, consistent and reliable process to screen prospective new Tenants. Applying FrontLobby’s 7 Tenant Screening best practices can help Housing Providers lower their risk of a costly decision and feel confident about their incoming new Renters. Continue Reading

What is a Rental Credit Check?

A Rental Credit Check is typically used by a Landlord to evaluate a Renters likelihood to pay rent on time. They also reveal whether an applicant owes rent to any previous Housing Providers.

Lending institutions, and Housing Providers, use your credit score to determine your credit worthiness. The idea is that the higher yor credit score, the more likely you are to pay your bills. In the lending world, this means it’s easier for you to get a loan, with a lower interest rate. In the world of renting, the higher your score the more favorably you’ll be viewed by Landlords.

What is Included on a Tenant Credit Report?

A Tenant Credit Report includes both credit score as well as an applicant’s financial history. A credit score is a numerical representation of a person’s credit risk at any given time. A typical credit score ranges from 300-850, and higher scores are viewed as more favorable.

Landlords can find key pieces of financial information by performing a credit check on a Tenant during the Tenant Screening process, including, creditworthiness, typically based on credit score, payment history, outstanding loans, credit cards, or other debts, any accounts in collections as well as any public records, including bankruptcies and consumer proposals.

Fast and easy to set up. You will get results!

I just wanted to share that FrontLobby has assisted in guiding several of my non-paying tenants to consider the consequences of their non-payment, and a few of them have paid off their debts, while others prioritize rent payments as they want to avoid the consequences of credit reporting.

It's like having a wingman to support you when in need. Tenants receive rent reminders, there's resources, checklists etc. making things easy.

Happy to report that a tenant reported to FrontLobby has resulted in a cheque for our client. The tenant moved out and refused to pay utilities that were due, despite repeated request to reminders to do so. They were told we would report this to collections and still didn't pay. Seems they care now as the full amount owing was paid.

Front Lobby has been a good service.

I'm asking my landlord to sign up for this currently!! I've been paying on time and in full for 3 years, I'd love it to go towards my credit score.

This is a powerful tool! Great for both parties.

I was contacted today by a property manager who pulled credit on my current tenant and saw my name listed with the reporting for on time rent payments with FrontLobby. Too bad my tenant lied and said that their landlord was someone else. (I used to rent from the property manager so he recognized my name)

It's a good concept. Good tenants get a boosted credit score and the bad ones get a bad score. Totally fair. Best part of all is it gives other landlords a head's up.

We've had people calling us to remove them from FrontLobby... that they can't get a job... loan... credit... Told them to pay... they did... These were... die hard "you are not gonna get a penny from us" type of tenants... 5 years after they moved out. In the last 2 years... we've recovered over 15k... thank you FrontLobby

Your services are admirable. FrontLobby provides a great service to any that might be lacking a credit record, and I would not hesitate to refer anyone to FrontLobby.

Your agency is doing a great job creating and maintaining and growing such a system, it is really innovative and needed.

This will allow our great customers to build their credit score faster by paying rent in a timely manner during their tenancy. #propertymanagement #mb #realestate #bdnmb #multifamily

East Vista Management has recently implemented the services of FrontLobby to help tenants build their Tenant Record and the feedback has been incredible! #tenantrelations #creditrating

This is the best way to reward great tenants who pay their rent on time. This system is easy to use and is very effective at deterring non paying tenants.

It has worked wonderfully for us, and our current tenants are excited to have their credit scores improving …. Former tenants paid their overdue amounts expeditiously ….

I was delighted that you guys have brought such a positive change to this industry to allow landlords and tenants to work together to build their great credit and future, while landlords feel much more secure.

Extremely responsive (received a call within an hour), provides information quickly and resolve my issue professionally and without any hassle.

I've purchased a home and no longer rent.

Very useful to apply constraint for tenant and they made payment on time since I began to use Frontlobby to record their payment situation.

I used Front Lobby to register my tenant lease. Those who paid on time have really appreciate the positive impact of their credit. One tenant who owed me over $30k recently paid their debt as they were well aware that their credit was being negatively affected.

It totally works. A previous tenant paid the owing rent even though they have moved our as it is reported on their credit bureau.

Encourages tenants to pay on time since they're getting a reminder from a legitimate source besides myself.

I am using this service and my tenants are all fans of having their rent reported to help build their credit. I haven't had any delinquent payments, but it certainly is an incentive for tenants to pay their rent.

Thanks, it's already starting to work. The tenant reached out after disappearing for months.

This is exciting-been using FrontLobby for the second year now! Highly recommended, tenants have been great and really appreciated this option when they didn't have great credit. Glad to be able to help them have peace of mind.

FrontLobby helps you track payments, credit as well as debts. It is set up automatically and is efficient.

I have subscribed to your service. I have seen an increase in my credit report the first months.

Amazing Service. Great Job. Very Satisfied and would highly recommend to all the landlords out there. Worth every penny. Please keep adding more features and services, to make it even a better product!!!!!

We love the easy of use and the rent reporting is a great tool!

I use it and love it. Since I added it to my tenants lease, they haven't been late once. Prior to this, they were late every month by roughly a week. God send!

I’m glad I signed up for FrontLobby as it made conducting background checks simple and automatic monthly rent reminders minimize rent payment issues.

My tenants pay their rent on time and it is a win-win. They build credit, and I get paid.

Friendly system to use and helpful for screening potential tenants.

I have built up a decent credit file by now that has enabled me to access all the credit I need. Thank you for your co-operation!

Yes, FrontLobby is great for that. It's inexpensive, simple, and quick. Once set up it's automatically reported.

Intuitive platform for reporting lease payments (late as well as on time) plus easy to use tenant screening. This one package replaces two other subscriptions.

By the way I am using your platform to pull tenant credit and background check reports and they are fantastic!

Good tool for tenancy screening and rental management.

One stop shop for screening and maintaining tenant financial responsibility.

Just begun looking into FRONTLOBBY. Have done my research on many other competitors. This company looks to be the best that I have found.

Just completed my first 2 Credit Checks on prospective tenants… this was the simplest interaction with a credit reporting agency I’ve ever experienced. Thank you FrontLobby.

Front Lobby helped two of my tenants purchase a home because of the increased credit scores. Great Company.

Payments according to the payment plan should be recorded as being paid on time and the Tenant may use them to build their credit. However, if a Tenant stops paying according to the payment plan, the total outstanding debt may be recorded.

If a Tenant believes a debt is being reported when there is a payment plan in place, please follow our dispute process outlined here.
