TransUnion and FrontLobby to Launch Rental Payment Reporting on Credit Files
This integration allows consistent, on-time rent payments to build credit files separately from debt, benefiting over 60,000 housing providers and more than one million rental units.
- TransUnion and FrontLobby will integrate rental payment data into TransUnion’s alternative data reporting system, announced Jan. 28, 2026 via Globe Newswire from Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver.
- Over five million Canadian households rent their homes, and rent is typically the largest monthly expense yet historically rarely contributed to credit reports.
- FrontLobby reports that it serves over 60,000 housing providers with more than one million rental units, and members reported up to a 92% reduction in delinquencies.
- TransUnion will place rent payments in a dedicated category separate from traditional credit obligations, keeping rental data outside the core credit file to help renters improve credit without being treated as debt.
- Embedding rent data positions housing providers to gain enhanced insights and tenant stability, while TransUnion's investments suggest rent reporting could expand into marketing, fraud, risk and advanced analytics.
