California’s New Law AB 2747: How Credit Rent Boost is Helping Landlords Comply
California’s Assembly Bill 2747 has brought significant changes to the way rent payments are reported to credit bureaus. At Credit Rent Boost, we are dedicated to helping landlords navigate these changes and take full advantage of the benefits this new law offers.
Understanding AB 2747
Assembly Bill 2747, effective April 1, 2025, mandates that landlords with more than15 units make the reporting of on-time rent payments to credit bureaus available to their tenants. This legislation aims to empower renters by allowing their rent payments to contribute to their credit scores, addressing a critical gap in the credit reporting system.
Benefits for Landlords
For landlords, AB 2747 presents a unique opportunity to enhance tenant relationships and improve rent payment behaviors. By reporting on-time rent payments, landlords can:
Attract Reliable Tenants: Tenants who are aware that their rent payments will be reported to credit bureaus are more likely to prioritize timely payments, reducing the risk of late payments or evictions.
Enhance Tenant Loyalty: By offering a valuable service that helps tenants build their credit, landlords can foster a sense of loyalty and satisfaction among their tenants.
Reduce Payment Delinquencies: The knowledge that rent payments will impact credit scores can encourage tenants to stay on top of their payments, resulting in fewer delinquencies and more consistent cash flow for landlords.
