Improve Renting for Everyone
Landlord Credit Bureau Helps Landlords and Tenants Prosper
Founded in 2012, Landlord Credit Bureau’s mission is to improve the businesses and lives of landlords, property managers, and responsible tenants. Having been both Tenants and Landlords, the founders knew the dynamic between the two needed to improve. Today, Landlord Credit Bureau is focused on providing landlords with the transparency they need while helping responsible tenants prosper.
Landlord Credit Bureau is a consumer reporting agency, most commonly known as a bureau. Landlord Credit Bureau enables the sale of rental history records and accepts rent payment information.
Landlord Credit Bureau empowers landlords to motivate and reward responsible tenant behavior. Tenants are able to build a positive Tenant Record with LCB to help get priority with future housing applications. The signature Tenant Database helps responsible tenants stand out. Less desirable behavior such as late payments, debts owed, or property damages can now be reported to ensure accountability.

Getting setup on the program was very easy, and when we reviewed my credit report after the first month of setting it up my credit score had increased 37 points. I was shocked it would have such a positive impact on my credit score in such a short amount of time.

I just checked my credit score, and it has increased by over 40 points. Didn’t you just sign me up a month ago? THANK YOU!

My existing tenants are excited to hear that their biggest expense each month (rent) will now be reflected in their credit report. Likewise, they are aware of the consequences if they don't pay future rent on time.

A few months ago we had a landlord hire us as their PM company. Their tenants were continually late with rent and advised her they could not pay until the 18th. After signing them up for LCB rent came early last month and this month ... worked for us!

We had over $140k of bad debt, that we pretty well had given up on. Within a couple of months we collected on debts that will pay our LCB for the next 5 years. I'm looking towards the day all landlords are using LCB.

I have 2 tenants who are new to the country and no credit. This is a perfect program to help them get established and build credit…. I'm a new landlord and I feel this elevates my status by doing something nice for my tenants.

I think that the LCB offers an excellent service to help struggling landlords find and keep great tenants, avoid the wrong tenants, and encourage mediocre tenants to become good ones.

I add the Lease Clauses to every new application. All my tenants know I report rent payments to LCB and understand this can help them with future credit needs.

My landlord signed me up which I am happy about. I never knew it even existed which I’m happy it does since my credit was average. Knowing it would help me grow it would be amazing. I’ve seen an increase since they have been reporting. I’m extremely comfortable with how they went and asked me about it.

I'm asking my landlord to sign up for this currently (LCB)!!
I've been paying on time and in full for 3 years, I'd love it to go towards my credit score.

I inform my tenants in the application and on their lease that I use the services of the LCB. Just doing that has helped me weed out bad tenants and has helped 2 of my tenants purchase their own homes with their good credit history. Win-win.

This is a fantastic value-added tool that we're excited to be using. As property managers, it helps to reduce our risk but the bonus is that our clients and our tenants gain just as much from it as we do.

I was really excited to hear that I could improve me credit standing through submitting rental reports. It has been effortless, and I'm happy to report I'm very glad about the service I receive with The Landlord Credit Bureau. It was easy to get my landlord on board, and the LCB makes it very user friendly and easy to submit reports. Thank you!
