For residents
Your rent can build your credit
Our Resident Benefit Package, provided through Second Nature, reports your on-time rent payments to major credit bureaus automatically. Rent is the biggest bill most people pay every month — this is how it starts counting toward your credit.
Credit building
Plenty of people pay rent on time for years and have nothing on their credit report to show for it, because rent usually isn’t reported at all. With credit building, every on-time payment is.
Payment history is the biggest single factor in the most widely used credit scores, so a steady record of paying rent on time is one of the most useful things you can put on your report.
Also included
Resident rewards
Earn points and gift cards for paying rent on time — so rent day comes with something back.
From renting to owning
Credit history is often what stands between a renter and a mortgage. Building it while you rent means that when you’re ready to buy, you’re not starting from zero — and because we sell homes as well as manage them, you already know who to call.
