How a Landlord Reports to a Credit Bureau

How a Landlord Reports to a Credit Bureau Landlords need to screen tenants to limit the amount of trouble and financial strain they will encounter once a tenant takes up residence in their building. They have many factors to consider when screening—credit being a major aspect. Tenants are often uneasy when a landlord does a background check because they worry about their credit scores.
