The Rental Kharma platform verifies rental payments directly with landlords and transmits this information to TransUnion and Equifax, with participants not required to change existing payment methods or link bank accounts. The system supports both prior rental history at current addresses and ongoing monthly reporting.
Credit scores influence roughly 90% of lending decisions in the United States. Average FICO scores declined by two points in 2025 to 715, marking the steepest drop since 2009. Younger borrowers continue to face difficulties, with Gen Z scores falling to an average of 676 due to factors such as student loan obligations, missed payments, and inflation-driven financial strain.
Rent payments represent one of the largest recurring expenses for U.S. households, yet they have historically been excluded from traditional credit evaluations. Rental Kharma's reporting process enables these payments to be recognized as part of a renter's credit record. Members typically see an initial increase of about 40 points, followed by incremental monthly gains averaging five points. The service also entails one-on-one credit mentoring and access to educational materials.
"Rent adds payment history and age to your credit report," a company representative said. "We offer a streamlined process for both renters and landlords, with no credit check and the option to cancel at any time."
The service includes optional expedited processing and reduced rates for spouses and roommates who enroll together. By converting verified rent payments into reportable credit data, the platform supports renters seeking to build or strengthen credit profiles without adjusting their existing payment routines.
