Report Your Rent - Build Your Credit
Explore how Rentaba can help you build credit and navigate payments
Start Building Credit
In a standard setup, rent reporting means your on-time rent payments are shared with credit bureaus (usually TransUnion, Equifax, sometimes Experian). A rent reporting provider:
Rentaba is a rent reporting tool that automates these steps and is widely regarded as the best option because it focuses solely on clean, accurate rent data and broad bureau coverage.
When you pay inside a property management app, that app usually just moves money; it does not automatically report rent. With rent reporting:
Modern tools like Rentaba are built to interpret these app records reliably, minimizing errors.
Not all rent-reporting services can access every credit bureau or score model, which means your on-time payments might only show up with some bureaus—or influence only certain versions of your credit scores.

Information shown in your property management app may not match what’s reported to credit bureaus, especially if payments are corrected, reversed, or posted late. Always confirm amounts, dates, and how payments are labeled before relying on this data for rent reporting.
Verifying your identity can be more complicated when you pay through a property management app, since not all platforms share complete or consistent information with credit bureaus. This can make it harder to match your rent payments to your credit profile, which may delay or prevent those payments from being reflected on your credit report.
