When a renter registers to report their payments any electronic rent payments processed through eRentPayment in the prior two years for that property will also be reported to Equifax. Experian will report any future payments.

1. The renter will log in to his or her eRentPayment profile
2. Go to the Properties section.
3. Under the property information section select the "Report Payments" button.
4. Complete the required fields on the form and select what type of Lease.

To edit existing credit bureau information select Edit Credit Reporting under the "Your Property Information" section.
 
The rent payment transactions will appear as an "Open Account" on the renter's credit report.
