Here's what credit scores for renters aren't telling you. They can make payments for nine months straight on time and get that reported by their property management company as a positive credit history, but then they could stop paying and not worry about paying on time. But those 90 days of not paying their rent on time is not reflected in the credit score. So if you own investment properties, does it even make sense to pull an applicant's credit score? So we're one of the few property management companies that report both positive and negative.
