Q: What is Rent Reporting?
A: Rent Reporting is a way to ensure that your recurring monthly payments are communicated to Credit Bureaus.
Having your rent payment history reported can be a positive signal for creditworthiness. Improving your credit helps you with future financial milestones such as getting a mortgage, purchasing a car, and renting a new apartment.
Q: How do I sign up for Rent Reporting?
A: Once your property has enrolled, residents begin receiving recurring communications from Flex confirming opt-in for rent reporting. No additional actions are needed from the resident.
Actively enrolled residents are able to opt-out at any point during the program.
Q: Which bureaus does Flex report to?
A: Flex reports directly to TransUnion. We are looking to expand to Experian and Equifax shortly.

A: No, Flex will only report successful rent payments as a way to help build-up your credit history.
Note: Rent Reporting is separate from existing credit reporting for users who have a credit line with Flex.
Q: How do I know if my property offers Flex Rent Reporting?
A: Residents at enrolled properties will receive monthly emails confirming their enrollment.
Q: What do I do if I am an existing user on Flex to split my rent?
