Your landlord must report your payment history to the credit bureaus.

Credit reports generally don’t report the “good news”–they’re more based on your bad news—it’s your lack of bad news that will make for a higher credit rating.

First, it IS NOT a lack of bad news that makes a good credit score. You dont want bad things on there, but if you dont create a new, good history, simply deleting the bad news does nothing.
Your landlord would have to agree to report it and then do so. Howver VERY few do this– its a hassle for them. Also, Rent is not a debt to be repaid– it is paid monthly AS you use it, just like utilities, which are also not generally reported.

The only way it can be done is if the leasing manager / landlord reports the information. This can not be done by you.
Here is some additional info. Hope this helps.

Jessie
This typically is not done unless the landlord reports it tot he credit companies.
