Zenbase, the first service to offer automated and verified rent reporting in Canada,, is excited to announce the deepening of its existing partnership with Laebon Rental Communities, a premier property management company dedicated to providing exceptional living experiences. The expanded collaboration aims to further enhance the rent reporting service, enabling residents to build credit with Equifax and ultimately helping them achieve their goals of future home ownership.
Recognizing the increasing importance of accessible credit-building options, Zenbase and Laebon Rental Communities have decided to strengthen their collaboration and extend their joint efforts in empowering renters to establish credit histories while paying their monthly rent. Through an enhanced integration of Zenbase’s advanced technology with Laebon Rental Communities’ comprehensive property management system, this partnership will streamline and automate the process of reporting rent payments to Equifax.

The deepened collaboration between Zenbase and Laebon Rental Communities will enable residents to establish and strengthen their credit histories by ensuring that their timely rent payments are accurately reflected in their Equifax credit reports. This credit-building initiative will allow individuals to demonstrate their creditworthiness, which can have a significant impact on their ability to access favorable loan terms, secure housing, and pursue future financial endeavors.
“Building on our successful partnership, we are excited to take the next step with Zenbase in offering an expanded rent reporting service,” said Matthew Matthew Lavergne, General Manager of Laebon Rental Communities. “By further integrating rent reporting into our services, we are reinforcing our commitment to our residents’ financial well-being and helping them lay a solid foundation for future milestones such as homeownership.
