Rent-payment reporting is becoming increasingly common, but it's far from a universal practice. Not all credit-scoring models take this information into account. If you are unsure, ask your landlord. Most do not report rental payments, but the practice is becoming increasingly popular thanks to the rise of rent-reporting services. These enable landlords to enter information about your payment history each month and submit it to the credit bureaus. Some of these are directly affiliated with one of the three bureaus and may only report to that bureau, while third-party rent-reporting services may report to more than one.
