Cambridge Virtual Meeting Tues May 19: Credit Reporting Under the Eviction Moratorium

If your renters don't pay, that can impact their credit even if you can't file in court. Attendees of this presentation will leave understanding how credit scores account for rental history and how to report a renter's good or bad history for credit purposes. We'll begin by reviewing the sources of reliable consumer credit data, including the "big three." Then we'll explain the normal market context in which credit information is collected and used to qualify consumers for credit, including revolving balance credit cards, car loans, and housing. While we're here, we'll share some quick pointers on screening renter credit scores, evaluating histories, and issuing rejections where credit had an adverse impact. We'll review in detail the Massachusetts eviction moratorium restrictions on credit reporting. In particular, we'll explain what your renters must do to preserve their credit rating during COVID-19 related nonpayment, or conversely, what you can do to report for negative credit if a renter is not paying as agreed. We'll then review options for landlords to start making reports to the "big three" right away. This part of the presentation will be given by MassLandlords staff.
