In the ever-evolving landscape of Canada’s rental market, one thing is clear: renters are increasingly looking for ways to improve their financial futures. With a growing focus on credit building, more renters are discovering how rental payments can serve as a powerful tool for boosting their credit scores. Federal government furthermore is referring to rent reporting in the renter’s bill of rights as a necessary option to help residents build credit.
A recent survey shows that a staggering 94% of renters believe that reporting past and future rent payments is essential for building their credit. By doing so, renters can establish or improve their credit scores, making it easier to access better financial opportunities, such as lower interest rates on loans and credit cards.
Confidence in Finances
The impact of improving credit through rent payments is clear: 9 out of 10 renters feel more confident in their finances when actively improving their credit. This boost in financial confidence can have ripple effects throughout renters’ lives, from more secure financial planning to an overall reduction in financial anxiety. Rent reporting plays a crucial role in this transformation, offering renters an actionable and practical way to enhance their credit profiles.
On-Time Payments Matter
When renters know their payments are being reported, they’re more likely to stay on top of their rent. According to the survey, 70% of renters are more likely to prioritize on-time rent payments when they know their rent history will be reported to the credit bureaus. This commitment to on-time payments not only helps renters build credit but also fosters a sense of financial responsibility. In fact, 85% of renters say that paying rent on time has become more important to them since learning they can build credit through their rental payments.
Landlord Support Goes a Long Way
For renters, knowing their landlord is actively supporting their financial well-being is crucial. The survey shows that 7 out of 10 renters agree that landlords offering rent reporting as an option demonstrates a commitment to their financial health. This insight underscores how important it is for landlords to offer credit-building solutions that go beyond just housing – solutions that empower renters to improve their financial standing and future prospects.
Zenbase is proud to play a part in this shift towards more financially empowered renters. As more rental properties across Canada adopt rental reporting solutions, the path to financial stability and improved credit scores becomes more accessible for Canadians everywhere.
Renting in Canada has its challenges, particularly when it comes to managing rent payments amidst rising costs and unpredictable financial pressures. For many renters, financial stress has become a significant burden, affecting both their mental health and work productivity. However, innovative solutions like flexible rent payments, which offers the ability to split rent payments, are offering much-needed relief.
A recent survey revealed that 9 out of 10 renters report that financial stress negatively affects their mental or physical health. This is a concerning statistic that highlights the weight renters carry, particularly when rent is due at the beginning of each month. Flexible rent payments program offers a solution by allowing renters to split their monthly rent into smaller, more manageable payments.
Reducing Stress, Boosting Productivity
The survey found that more than 70% of renters said financial stress from rent payments negatively affects their focus and productivity at work. With this, renters no longer have to use their entire paycheck for one large payment. Instead, they can pay align their rent payments around their income dates, easing the burden around budgeting and freeing up mental space to focus on their work and other life priorities.
The benefits of split rent payments extend beyond just work productivity. According to the survey, 82% of renters experience lower stress levels at the beginning of the month thanks to the ability to split their rent payments. This simple yet effective solution helps renters better manage their finances and avoid the anxiety that often comes with lump-sum payments.
Alleviating the Effects of Inflation
With inflation continuing to rise, 80% of renters find that splitting their rent payments helps them manage the increased financial strain. Splitting rent allows renters to adjust their cash flow, ensuring they can still meet their rental obligations without sacrificing other essential expenses.
Demonstrating Care for Renters
Renters aren’t just looking for affordable housing; they want to feel supported by their landlords. The survey indicates that 7 out of 10 renters feel that flexible rent payment options like CustomRent show their property manager genuinely cares about their financial well-being. By offering this flexibility, landlords foster stronger relationships with tenants and help ensure that their residents stay financially stable.
Flexible rent payments are quickly becoming a preferred budgeting solution for renters across Canada. By making rent payments more manageable and reducing financial stress, it’s helping to improve not only the lives of renters but the quality of the landlord-tenant relationship as well.
