Can a private landlord report tenants to the credit agencies for damages and unpaid rent or a broken lease?
It is not likely that a private individual would qualify or pay the funds necessary to report a consumer to the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. However, if the landlord sued former tenants and was granted a judgment, the judgment would show on their credit reports. There are also alternative credit agencies, called Tenant Screening Bureaus, which cater to the rental market. These agencies have different clients than the "Big 3". A private landlord might find a way to report on one of these lesser known bureaus. A private landlord can report a tenant to credit agencies if the tenant failed to pay his rent or he has wrongfully overstayed without even paying a monthly rent. A 14-day written notice of broken lease and property damages may be given to tenant.

Can owner finance report to credit bureaus?
The National association of Independant landlords is an association that is $69 for membership + $15 setup fee no matter how many houses you have + $10 for the 1st house then $7 for each additional house. This allows you to electronically debit funds from your tenants account then they'll report to the credit bureas for free. If you just wanted them to report to the credit bureaus its even cheaper. I'm not sure if they'll change the word Tenant to the word Buyer if its an owner finance setup, but if you're ok with overlooking the slight vocabulary difference, this is an excellent option. http://twitter.com/chandlercrouch
Why do apartments not report your standing with them unless it is bad?
There are expenses involved in reporting and updating to the major credit bureaus. So apartment complexes and other landlords typically do not report month to month activity on their tenants. If a consumer needs to establish rental history, there are other methods. These include verbal and written verification from the apartment management or landlord, copies of cancelled checks or bank statements. These are standard in the lending industry and would likely be required even if you had a entry on your credit report. There are other credit bureaus, known as tenant screening agencies, which have their own clients (who report and update to them) and from whom prospective landlords pull when you apply for an apartment. These are specialized bureaus and show data on past tenants that has a specific bearing on rental history. It is much more likely that an apartment complex would report to that type of bureau before they would report on the regular ones, (Equifax, Experian, & Trans Union). Once again, because this is an expense, apartments will often only report derogatory information on tenants who caused problems rather than positive information on every tenant.
Does breaking a rental lease agreement affect your credit rating?
Not in and of itself. Lease agreements are not typically reported on your credit report and are not normally part of your "rating". However, there are other credit bureaus used by apartment complexes. These agencies, called tenant screening bureaus, have different information than your credit report. They focus on rental payment history, evictions, lease agreements and utilities. It is possible that breaking your lease would be reported on one of these lesser known bureaus. This might impact your ability to rent in the future. Another possibility is that the lease holder can always sue you for the balance due on the contract. If a judgment were granted against you, all the provisions allowed under your state's laws would come into play. These include garnishment of wages, freezing of bank accounts, and reporting the judgment on the public records portion of your standard credit report. That would most certainly affect your credit.

How can a landlord put unpaid rent on your credit report?
Untill you ever pay the rent or he files a lawsuit and gets you kicked out. I don't know what that answer means.

How can you report a renter that vacated the rental apartment and owes several months of rent?
Individual people cannot report other people to credit bureaus. To make a negative report on the tenant's credit record, you have two options.1. You can allow a licensed collection company to begin collection of the debt. This is a good idea if you do not live close to the property, or want the tenant's credit to be affected immediately. But expect to pay 1/3-1/2 of any money collected back to the collection company.2. Sue the tenant. Small claims court is a great place to sue if the amount owed does not exceed your state's small claims court jurisdictional limit. If the amount exceeds the jurisdictional limit, you must sue in a higher court. Much more information can be found at the Related Questions below.Once a judgment is entered in your favor, you must pay a small fee to the court to "transcribe" it to the civil docket. At that time, credit bureaus will take notice and put the judgment on the tenant's credit.
