A Tenant Not Paying Rent is Stressful

It is important for Housing Providers to avoid the financial burden and stress of a Tenant not paying rent.

With Rent Reporting Landlords can attract Tenants interested in building a positive credit history and improved credit. Credit Bureau reporting gives Tenants the opportunity to include their rental payment histories as part of their credit reports. It can also help Landlords by providing incentive for timely rent payments and contribute to reducing rent arrears.

Rent Reporting Can Benefit Your Business

Rent Reporting benefits for Tenants are obvious. Without taking on additional debt, they can boost their credit scores and build a positive credit history. But as a Housing Provider, you may be ask, “Why does Rent Reporting matter to me or my rental business?”

Rent Reporting services could be the feature that tips the Renter’s decision in your direction. It can certainly aid in the process of building a strong Landlord-Tenant relationship. By offering it to your Tenants, you can establish a trusting relationship based on the fact that you care for their credit-related goals. This can help secure a steady cash flow, but furthermore, it can make your job as a Landlord easier—meaning less chasing, less screening and fewer evictions.

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.

+ We are committed to earning 6 out of 5 stars from our members.
