Most landlords conduct background checks on potential renters, especially since online background screening services have made it easy and affordable for them to do so. These services likely include a credit check, so getting your credit in order is one way to make a good impression on landlords.

If you haven’t seen a credit report in a while, it’s worth noting that you’ll receive one when you order a renter report from Rental History Report. You can also see your rental payment history, eviction records and criminal history, allowing you access to the same type of information landlords will see. It never hurts to make sure everything that could appear on a rental background check is accurate.

Credit report sections include:

Instant online access to your easy-to-read credit report with credit score from a national credit reporting bureau

Information on outstanding credit accounts, payments that are past due, tax liens and prior bankruptcies

Find out if landlords would view you as a financial risk and determine the likelihood that they will rent to you

Verify the accuracy of your credit and learn how to fix errors before they become a problem

See how your score compares with the scores of your friends & neighbors
