 TITLE: Do You Need a Credit Score to Rent a House or Apartment? CONTENT: Use Your Rent Payments to Boost Your Credit Score\n-------------------------------------------------\nOnce you've signed the rental lease, having your landlord report your rent payments to credit bureaus can help you establish credit or improve your credit score. If your landlord doesn't already do this, see if you can convince them to start, or if they will let you pay via a rent payment service that works with Experian RentBureau.\nFinally, be sure to make your rent payments on time and comply with the rules of your lease. Being a model tenant will make it easier to qualify for an apartment or house the next time you want to move. END
