When homeowners pay their mortgages on time or a consumer pays credit cards or other financial debt, that information makes its way onto their credit reports and boosts their credit scores, thus easing their access to credit that they need.

- Properties are appealing to financially responsible residents interested in building their credit score
- Rent reporting provides an additional incentive for prompt rental payments
