Luis Alvarez | Digitalvision | Getty ImagesWhile rent payments do not traditionally affect your credit, a growing number of so-called rent-reporting services are trying to change that. But these services don't all operate the same way, and some may have less value for renters. There are also services geared to landlords that offer rent reporting for tenants, including ClearNow, Esusu and PayYourRent. Landlords usually shoulder the cost of these programs, but there may be processing fees depending on how you make your rent payments. When rent payments are included in credit reports, consumers see an average increase of nearly 60 points to their credit score, according to a 2021 TransUnion report.

Zillow's rent reporting is free for tenants who pay rent through Zillow. Tenants who currently use Zillow to pay rent can opt into rent reporting through their Renter Payments Dashboard. In order to pay rent through Zillow, your landlord must be enrolled and send you an invitation link. Once a tenant has opted in to rent reporting, Zillow will identify on-time rent payments — made within 30 days of the due date — and report them to Experian. Competition among the best rent reporting services is fierce, with many services offering features like utilities reporting, up to 24 months of retroactive rent reporting, and tri-bureau rent reporting.
