You would have to become a contributing member of the credit bureau in question to contribute information on an individual. This is not always possible (legally), nor cost-worthy. However, if you wanted to sue your former tenant in small claims or civil court; if you prevail and are granted a judgment, THAT legal item would get picked up and eventually show on the person's credit report.

Is the rent paid for future months a liability?

Yes, rent paid for future months is considered a liability. When a tenant pays rent in advance, it creates an obligation for the landlord to provide housing for that period. This prepayment is recorded as a liability on the landlord's balance sheet until the time period for which the rent was paid has elapsed.

This depends on if the information is correct. If it's not correct you need to determine how it got there.

If the report is part of a credit report which was obtained then you need to dispute the entry with that credit bureau.

How can a landlord report good credit for a tenant?

You are unable to report "good credit" to the credit bureau but I found a website that allows landlords to prepare reports on tenants and view reports that other landlords have completed. The reports are in a yes/no format so they are easy to complete, professional and unbiased. It is AboutTenants.com. It was launched in 2008 so it is new, but has significant potential for landlords. It is a free sight (though does require registration for full access). They also have free lease agreements, addendums, and other rental forms that contain terms that help protect the landlord. By creating a report on your tenant, you may be able to help him/her in the future obtain the rental that they are applying for!
