The are a number of companies that will do this for a price.

If you file an eviction lawsuit and get a judgment, this can be picked up automatically by the credit reporting agencies. Furthermore, recording a judgment lien will also put this on the debtor's credit rating.

However, since this is not always the case all landlords should report their tenants behavior and payment history to the link in related links.

Is this for yourself, such as, to evaluate the tenant? Or is it for the tenant himself?

Can you report a tenant who broke lease and owes 2 months lease?

An individual landlord is not able to directly report a tenant to a consumer credit reporting agency such as Experian. If you decide not to obtain a judgment in small claims court, then you can turn the account over to a collection agency, who is able to report the outstanding debt. However, the collection agency will get 30%-50% of amounts they collect. If you do obtain a judgment, it is a public record and reported to the consumer credit bureaus automatically. Actually a landlord can report debt as a collection account for less than $20 per debtor. Check out my blog at www.thelandlorddoctor.com or contact me at Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com
