Credit Reporting

Company provides Tenants with the ability to report rent payments to credit bureaus (the “Reporting Services”). Tenant acknowledges that each bureau has unique approaches to rental payment data furnishing and reporting. Rental payments and delinquencies will be reported to TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian for any tenant who makes payments through PayRent Inc., and who verifies their identity within PayRent Inc.. Rental payments will be reported to TransUnion and Equifax for any tenant who connects their bank account to PayRent Inc. or uploads proof of payment, and who verifies their identity within PayRent Inc.. In addition and if desired, tenant has the ability to “opt-out” of reporting. While PayRent Inc. takes all commercially reasonable steps to report data correctly to the credit bureaus according to their methods and recommendations, PayRent Inc. cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data on Tenant’s credit report. Furthermore, we can provide no guarantee of future reporting to the bureaus, as each bureau regularly revisits their compliance procedures and competitive positions. Tenant understands that it may take up to six months for rental payment data to appear on credit bureau records. If Tenant deems any payment data found on their credit report incorrect, PayRent Inc. will assist Tenant in investigating the issue upon receipt of a written request from Tenant. In addition, Tenant may file a dispute with PayRent Inc. Tenant understands that a credit freeze does not prevent PayRent Inc. from sending data to the credit bureaus. A credit-freeze only prevents the credit bureaus from providing PayRent Inc. with information from Tenant’s credit profile. The data displayed by PayRent Inc. regarding rental history is only a representation of the Tenant’s tradeline, and not actual data from the credit bureau. Tenant should review their credit profile at each bureau in order to verify the accuracy of the rent reporting.
Landlords acknowledge that they must report any outstanding balance at time of move-out or lease-end. Landlords also acknowledge that unless they record all rent payments in the Payment Services that were made through alternate means (i.e. paper check, cash), Tenant may not receive credit for these payments.
Landlords are eligible to use the Payment Services to collect rent and the Credit Services to verify Tenants’ identity and screen Tenants’ credit and background. Tenants are eligible to use the Payment Services in conjunction with a participating Landlord to pay rent and the Credit Services to view and monitor credit scores and profile data. Credit card, electronic check, paper check scanning, and pay-by-phone remittances, with the exception of some technology platform fees, are transferred from Tenant to Landlord via a third-party licensed money transmitter. Company may handle the transfer of payment from a Tenant to a Landlord by producing a negotiable instrument with Tenant’s pertinent financial institution account information and executing the instrument on behalf of the Tenant to allow the transfer of funds directly from Tenant to Landlord. Both Tenant and Landlord will receive timely communication acknowledging payment initiation and, when available, settlement.
In addition to the services above, we may collect Tenant information, including but not limited to information retrieved such as credit score, credit profile data, or consumer entered or verified information such date of birth. This data is not shared with third parties in an identifiable manner. Based on this information, we may present Tenant with offers from associated affiliates (the “Prequalified Affiliate Offers”). These offers may be presented through a variety of communication channels, including but not limited to email (if Tenant has “opted in”), Site ad placements, and telephone. PayRent Inc., at its discretion, and under separate agreement, may choose to share revenue from Prequalified Affiliate Offers with Landlords.
PayRent Inc. will receive Tenant’s credit score from one or more credit bureaus. We may recalibrate this score to display a consistent score to our users (“Scores”). Our credit scores are not to be confused with FICO scores, Vantage scores, Empirical scores, Beacon scores, or any scores from TransUnion, Experian or Equifax, unless such scores are specifically labeled. All of our Scores may not be used to grant credit.
The Services and Affiliate Offers are not intended to provide any credit repair, legal, tax or financial advice. We cannot guarantee any improvement in credit scores. PayRent Inc. offers a satisfaction guarantee which offers a refund should PayRent Inc. fail to deliver the service we agreed to deliver on, or if our customer service experience does not meet your expectations. PayRent Inc. satisfaction guarantee cannot be claimed as a result of your credit score not improving. Tenant acknowledges that PayRent Inc. is not a Credit Bureau and does not have direct influence over any aspect of credit, credit profiles, or how credit scores are calculated.

Authorized Services

I authorize PayRent.com to facilitate payments from my Residents via ACH and/or credit card processing to deposit accounts I provide to PayRent.com. If a dispute arises after payment is remitted to landlord/owner/agent, or in the event the Resident rescinds payment before remittance, or in the event of a chargeback or not-sufficient funds, the responsibility to settle the dispute rests with the Resident and Landlord/Owner/Agent. PayRent.com and our payment processors cannot be held liable for delivering rent payments in dispute or where funds are insufficient or charged back to the originating credit card and/or bank transfer. I understand that the credit for these returned funds will be reversed from the original deposit account by the account holder’s bank or credit card company. In this event, I certify the funds will be available for reversal and will be liable in the event the funds are not available.
