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.

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.

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.

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.

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

There is no need for a software integration to use FrontLobby, however, we have those too. If you are interested in an integration with Yardi, or another property management software tool you can contact our sales team here.

Rent payments do not need to be made through the FrontLobby platform for Rent Reporting to Credit Bureaus to work. We know being a Housing Provider requires flexibility, this means being able to accept rent payments in whichever way works best for you. You can learn more about how Rent Reporting works here.

Absolutely not, we are an inclusive platform that works for Landlords and Property Managers of all sizes. We’ve designed it to be easy and fast to use, with no minimum lease requirement. Housing Providers can sign up for free here.

For Housing Providers, Rent Reporting and Debt Reporting can be two of the easiest ways to reduce Tenant delinquencies and recover rental debt from former leases. When on time and missed rent payments are shared with Credit Bureaus, like Equifax and Landlord Credit Bureau, Tenants have proven to prioritize rent. Additional benefits can be found here.

For Renters, good credit builds over time and can require a mixture of credit accounts. With FrontLobby, rent payments are reported as a trade line on a Tenant’s Credit Report, one of the proven ways to help build a strong credit report. Additional benefits can be found here.

With FrontLobby rent payments can be shared with Equifax  and Landlord Credit Bureau  to be reflected on a Tenant’s Credit Report and Tenant Record.

Our Tenant Screening services are used by Landlords and Property Managers who want an affordable screening solution that is delivered instantly. There are no hidden fees, no mandatory subscriptions, and no additional cost for credit score.

Survey’s show that over 50% of Renters want to improve their credit. FrontLobby is a great way for Tenants to report their rent payments to Credit Bureaus, like Equifax and Landlord Credit Bureau.

You may have received an invite from your Tenants. If this is the case, please use the link in the email invitation to sign up. It is free and only takes a few minutes. Once your account is complete you can log in to view your Tenant’s draft lease. Review the details and either approve or share required changes.

Even if your Tenant is the one to initiate rent reporting, your approval is required. This helps to ensure the integrity of the data.

FrontLobby aims to facilitate proactive and positive conversations between Housing Providers and Renters. When applicable, we encourage all parties to work towards a mutually agreeable payment plan.

If a payment plan is in place and a Tenant is paying according to the plan, no debts may be reported to the Credit Bureaus. 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.

Every time we receive a great question, we add it to our Help Center. Using this great resource, you’ll find the answer to almost every question.
