We report your on-time rent payments to TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. TransUnion is the same company that does credit & background screening for new tenants on RentRedi. They use the information to increase your FICO credit score. You can learn more about the TransUnion's ResidentCredit program here. https://www.transunion.com/product/residentcredit

Typically, credit bureaus use credit cards and loan payments (such as student or home loans) to assess credit scores.

However, with RentRedi, you can now report your on-time rent payments to credit bureaus as well!

With rent being a large monthly payment, you can increase your credit score with rent payments you're already making!

Additionally, a high credit score can mean access to lower interest rates for car, home & other loans, waived or reduced deposits to open utility or cell phone accounts, increased credit limits, and overall positions you as a more attractive tenant.

Payments are reported to the credit bureau every week. Once your rent is reported to TransUnion, it typically takes 5-30 days to show on your credit history!

From the RentRedi Tenant app, select Rent, then Report Rent, and then follow the options provided to you.

For current tenants, there are 3 options. Regardless of the option you select, TransUnion recommends reporting 12 months of payments to make the most impact on your FICO credit score.

**Note: Experian only records the current month and prior rent payment history will not be reported by Experian.

You can report on-time payments for your entire lease at once. This includes all future payments & the option to add all past payments made through RentRedi for the price of $3.99/mos.

The cost for reporting an entire lease at once can be up to a one-time payment of up to $47.88 (for reporting 12 months) to increase your credit score by up to 26 points.

You can choose to report your on-time payments every 3-months, costing $4.99/mos. The cost for reporting 3 months of rent payments costs $14.97.

The most flexible option is that you can choose to report your on-time payments every month. This pay-as-you-go option costs a recurring $5.99/mos.

You will also see the pricing in the app as well: is a pricing section on the rent reporting landing page that looks like this:
