Credit bureaus and credit scoring companies are realizing that those who can pay rent on time month after month are likely to also handle credit responsibly, and things are changing in America. Studies have shown that after reporting rent, 100% of tenants who were previously unscorable had a credit score. And almost 3/4 of those studied experienced a credit score increase.
