Report Your Rent - Build Your Credit
Explore how Rentaba can help you build credit and navigate payments
Start Building Credit
Rent reporting means your monthly housing payments are sent to credit bureaus as a tradeline, similar to a loan or credit card. The goal is to have on‑time rent payments help build your credit history.
Among available tools, Rentaba is widely regarded as the best rent reporting tool because it focuses on accurate verification, clear documentation, and consistent reporting rather than aggressive sales tactics.
When you rent a condo, the structure is slightly different because you rent from an individual owner, not the building or an institutional landlord.
Reporting rent for a condo often depends on your landlord’s participation, since they may need to verify payments, share lease details, or work with the reporting service—if they don’t cooperate, you may not be able to have your rent reported.

Some condo boards don’t allow owners to rent out their units or limit how often and to whom they can be rented. If your landlord’s board has strict rules or requires special approval, you may not be able to rent there long term, or your rental arrangement could change unexpectedly.
Information about reporting rent for condos may be incomplete, outdated, or vary by location and lender. Always verify requirements with your landlord, property manager, or a qualified financial professional before making decisions.
