Mom and pop landlords can now offer credit reporting as a powerful perk for residents.

99% of RentHelper renters have built credit.

Renters who pay in full each month get good reports automatically.

A little late doesn’t hurt. If a balance is $0 owed near the end of the month, the month reports as “paying as agreed.”

Payment plans with landlord permission are also good.

It’s hard to pay rent in full on the first! Landlords give permission for RentHelper to offer payment plans. While a renter works down a balance, we don’t report either good or bad. We wait. When they next hit zero near the end of the month, we report as good.

99% of renters have built credit.

Renters with no prior credit or bad credit from other accounts may find their rent history is a big boost. Renters who have struggled in the past find they are much more stable on a payment plan.

RentHelper was a huge help! My credit score increased significantly.

The landlord decides.

We report bad when a renter…

Ghosts or stops communicating.

Leaves owing money.

Refuses to work in good faith on a payment plan.

Credit building comes with other perks.

Renters build credit thanks to RentHelper’s human-powered (non-AI) coaching and processes. 

Renters with good histories only can load their full history.

When a renter signs up with RentHelper, they have the option to enter their original tenancy start date. This prevents sudden creation of a new trade with short account history.

Fair.

Affordable.

Friendly.

Pricing

Read the terms of those “other payment services.” To prevent the renter pulling back funds, you must pay a 2 – 3% business transaction charge: $20 to $30 per $1,000. On some platforms, commercial use is not even allowed.

They don’t even report for credit.

RentHelper costs just 0.6% ($6 for every $1,000 of rent we collect).

No contract.

No minimums.

No monthly fees.

No bounce fees.

No hidden or other fees.

RentHelper renters cannot pull back funds.
