<prompt> Human: Ive been renting the same house for over 4 years. Paid on time every month and Im sure it would make my credit score improve. My credit is not that great but Im working on fixing it back up. Years ago when I poked around a credit forum I recall people mentioning you can have your rental payment history applied to your credit report. Does anyone know if this is possible and how would I go about getting it reported? If it matters I make our rent checks out to a nationally known realty company.  <response>: Dont pay, then it will get reported. Jk. In all seriousness, rent isnt reported on your credit report because, well, its not credit of any type.
