    Third-party consumer reporting companies have to provide one free report every 12 months if you request it. [1] If you’re applying to rent a property, ask the management for the name of the company they’ll use to screen your application. A landlord might use one of these reputable screening companies: [2]

    Although most landlords request your rental history from a third-party consumer reporting company, you can compile the same documents that these companies receive yourself and review them. [4] However, this method may not show whether your reported rental history is accurate.
    • Compile a list of the locations you previously rented with the current landlords’ contact information, the rate you paid, and your dates of occupancy.
      • Your potential landlord may reach out to a prior landlord to ask about your rental history.
    • Note any evictions you’ve had or eviction cases you’ve won.

    • The amount you paid each month at each property you rented
    • Your dates of occupancy at each rental property
    • Any concerns that may have been raised during your time as a tenant (such as damage to the unit, late rent payments, broken leases, neighbor complaints, or eviction notices)
    • Any recommendations (positive or negative) you have from past landlords
    • A tenant screening report includes all of the above information plus your credit report, an employment verification, your criminal history, the sex offender registry, the national terrorist watchlist, and a risk score. [6]

    • Your credit report confirmation number, if available.

    Send your dispute letter and any relevant documentation to the consumer reporting company online, by mail, or by fax. The reporting company will investigate your dispute, forward your documentation to the bank, landlord, or credit card company that made the error, and report the results to you. [9]
    • If the dispute is approved, the company that made the error will notify you and all consumer reporting companies. The reporting companies will update their reports. [10]
    • If the consumer reporting company and the bank, landlord, or credit card company believe their information is accurate, they’ll notify you and leave your rental history report as-is.

    Try to pay your rent in full on the day that it’s due. If you forgot to pay a late fee or made another payment error, talk to your landlord and ask them to expunge it from your rental report. Keep a receipt of any transactions to prove that you paid off your rent. [11]
    • If you owe money to a previous landlord, pay it off completely or set up a monthly payment plan. [12]
    • If you find it difficult to pay your rent on time, set up a budget to manage your income and expenses and keep track of your rent and other bill due dates.

    Try to always part with your landlords on good terms so they don’t give a bad reference to your future landlords. Try to answer questions when they ask and communicate any maintenance issues when they happen so that your landlord can leave a positive recommendation on your rental history report.
    • If your rental history report has a negative reference, negotiate with your previous landlord to give you a simple reference letter stating that you paid your rent on time.
      • You can also gather documents that explain a landlord’s bad reference, like evidence of medical or financial problems that caused you to skip rent payments.

    Report any damages or major maintenance issues directly to your landlord, clean your rental regularly, and take care of what you’re responsible for (like replacing smoke detector batteries, changing the HVAC filter, or mowing or landscaping). [13]
    • When you move out, try to leave your unit in the same or better condition as when you moved in. Make sure the unit is completely clean and fix any damages before you leave. [14]
    • Taking care of (or even improving) the property might improve the chances that your landlord will recommend you to another property manager.

    If you have a rental history report that describes late payments, outstanding debts, damages to the unit, or lease violations, do your best to explain your circumstances to your potential landlord before they get your rental report. [15]
    • For example, if you were evicted because you lost your job, explain what happened, what’s different in your life now, and why paying rent at this location will not be a problem. [16]
    • Ask past landlords to write you a positive recommendation that includes the dates of tenancy, your rental rate, and a brief description of your tenancy, and include this with your application.
    • Your transparency and any extra documentation you provide (like income statements, history of on-time utility or phone payments, or a good credit score) may give them a more accurate picture of who you are as a renter. [17]
    • You can also ask to apply with a cosigner or put down a larger security deposit to show a potential landlord that you’re less of a financial risk than the rental history report shows. [18]

    Prospective landlords verify your employment status and income to make sure you have enough money to afford rent each month. They might ask for your bank account numbers, copies of your pay stubs, and/or your current employer’s phone number. [19]
    • If you’re not comfortable providing your bank account number, you might be able to submit a copy of your bank statement with your name and account history with the numbers blacked out. [20]
    • Depending on the state or the landlord, a potential landlord might ask that you earn double or triple the amount of rent each month. [21]

    Your credit report can reflect how financially responsible you are. Before submitting a rental application, let your prospective landlord know about any bad marks on your credit report and explain what you’re doing to clean up the problem. Some landlords might be more willing to work with you if you’ve created a payment plan to pay off past debts. [22]

    Potential landlords usually run a background check on potential tenants, and any cases, past misdemeanors, or felonies that come up may raise a red flag. Ask potential landlords if they will rent to someone with a criminal record before submitting your application to avoid paying unnecessary screening costs. [26]
    • Arrests can remain on your report for 7 years from the date of entry unless it has a longer statute of limitation. [27]
    • Depending on the conviction, the state the crime was committed in, and the amount of time that has passed, you might be eligible to expunge your criminal record . [28]
    • If you find outdated or inaccurate information on your criminal background check, file a dispute with the consumer reporting company. [29]

    If a landlord ever filed a lawsuit to evict you, it’s best to be upfront about it with a potential landlord. Make sure any judgments against you have been paid off, explain your circumstances to the potential landlord, and ask them if they’re willing to rent to tenants with past evictions on their record. [30]
    • If you were evicted illegally or won in eviction court, give your landlord a written explanation or letter from the court stating that you won the case or confirming that the eviction was illegal. [31]
      • Even if you won, the eviction might still be on your record and be used against you in the tenant screening process. If you provide a letter from the court, the new landlord may be willing to consider the extenuating circumstances. [32]
    • If you find outdated or inaccurate information on your rental background check, file a dispute with the consumer reporting company. [33]

    You can use a rent reporting service to include on-time rental payments on your credit report, which can improve your credit score for future applications. Many of these services charge you $2 to $10 each month, which might be worth it if you need to buy a home or make a major purchase quickly. [34]
    • These services typically contact your landlord each month to verify that you paid your rent on time, which they then report to the credit bureaus. [35]
    • Most services also charge you a one-time fee when you sign up—this can range anywhere from $10 to $95. [36]
    • Ask your current landlord to see if they use a service—they might have a landlord-initiated program that’s free for tenants. [37]
