Our service provides unmatched benefits, including the ability to report up to the last 24 months of rent payments, giving tenants an immediate credit history boost. Best of all, there is no additional cost for landlords enrolling 10 or more tenants. Tenants also gain a credit age attribute based on their lease start date, which can have a significant positive impact on their credit scores. This
gives your tenants an incentive to make rent payments on time. Studies show that longer credit histories result in stronger credit profiles, and your partnership with Credit Rent Boost enables you to offer this advantage to your tenants.
By taking proactive steps to meet the requirements of A.B. 2747, you’re not only staying compliant but also fostering financial responsibility and empowerment for your tenants.
We understand that landlords have different priorities when it comes to billing tenants. That’s why we offer flexible options to fit your needs. For landlords aiming to enhance goodwill with existing tenants, we provide free reporting for the first year, until the lease renews, or until a new tenant moves in. Alternatively, if you prefer to simplify your process and start tenant billing immediately, we can accommodate that too. The choice is yours—our plans are designed to adapt to what works best for you.
Our streamlined process handles rent reporting for all tenants on your lease agreements, making compliance with AB 2747 effortless.
By utilizing Credit Rent Boost, landlords have the opportunity to recover the service costs through tenant participation fees.
California AB 2747 Compliance Made Easy
Improve tenants' credit scores.
Better Tenant Retention.
Minimal work is required by you as a landlord.
Enrolling and updating tenants is made easy! We have direct API connections with Property Management Software and an amazing Landlord Portal.
Credit Rent Boost’s service is cost-effective for recovering monies due from both existing tenants and tenants who have left without proper payments.
Tenants who miss payments do not gain positive credit history for that month, providing an incentive for timely rent payments
Account Upgrades: Past Rent Reporting available for up to 24 months.
Cost is billed per unit, not per tenant.
Landlords are allowed to charge tenants for the rent reporting service. However, the fee must not exceed the actual cost incurred by the landlord or $10 per month, whichever is less.
We report to TransUnion & Equifax. If you are an Apartment Complex, or Property Management Company, we can also report to Experian. Experian does require an additional vetting process.
For landlords managing 1-9 units, the monthly cost is $4.00 per month, per unit, and new leases are billed at the prices within the 1-9 unit pricing section. For those on our 10+ unit plan, all new leases are billed at a rate of $2.50 per month.
* Only required for Individual Owners
Our Goal is to make the rent reporting process easy for you – the landlord!
Your Tenant’s can see results in a little as 2 weeks!
EXCELLENT 221 reviewsTINA BUNDYMay 20, 2025 I want to especially thank Elsa!! Not even sure what frame of mind I'd be in w/o all her dedicated assistance! Now on to my personal experience working w/950 Credit, Inc: EXCEPTIONAL! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. (and I RARELY leave reviews because I am definitely one of those people who don't pay no attention to other's opinions) but, 950 Credit DESERVES this recognition! Phoned in on 5/5/25- needed major assistance in getting my downloads/rental payments allocated- my tradeline(s) were submitted to bureaus on 5/15/25- and I was notified of the reporting INCREASE(s) for TransUnion & Equifax (several days earlier than advised I would). Experian is separate and should update 5/22/25 per what I was advised. My score(s) went up 92 points (and I was already above the 600 mark prior to this reporting). A HUGE THANK YOU- to all who assisted me in getting this done! (especially Elsa!)Tyler MayMay 8, 2025 Credit rent boost has been great to work with. Good customer service. Quick replies. And even though my landlord was stubborn, these guys did not quit their work. Shout out to Elsa as well. She has great customer service. I will recommend my friends that need help with credit.Krystal HowardMarch 19, 2025 I recently started using Credit Rent Boost, and I must say, the setup process has been impressively smooth and user-friendly. From the moment I signed up, I found the interface intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the necessary steps. One of the standout features of my experience so far has been the customer service team. They have been incredibly helpful and responsive, promptly addressing all my initial questions and concerns. It’s reassuring to know that support is just a message away, especially when venturing into something new. While I haven’t yet seen a noticeable impact on my credit score, I remain optimistic about the potential benefits. The idea of having my rental payments contribute positively to my credit history is exciting, and I appreciate the opportunity to enhance my credit profile in this way. I plan to keep track of my progress and will update this review once I start seeing the full benefits of the service. For now, I’m quite satisfied with my experience and look forward to what’s to come!Tanya PaceMarch 17, 2025 This process was extremely easy and quick. I signed up on Wednesday and by Friday my file was complete. The customer service was fast and very helpful. Thanks for such a quick and easy process.Cory ChrestFebruary 17, 2025 Such a great service! Wonderful customer service, they truly go above and beyond. I did the expedited service, as I needed this line on my account as soon as possible and they were incredibly accommodating and got my line reported even faster than I expected! If you're no longer renting, and wanting to report positive past rental history, you will not find a better reporting service. Elsa also was very helpful and provided great customer service as I asked an excessive amount of questions.Danielle SaundersJanuary 23, 2025 Easy and Very Helpful. Help me through the whole processC NevilleJanuary 21, 2025 I’m in the early stages of using Credit Rent Boost- 950 Credit, and so far, the setup process has been smooth and easy.
