Verified Rental Debt Data: Openroom supplies Equifax with accurate rental debt data from its Rental Debt Ledger, benefiting Housing Providers.
No Tenant Screening Services: Openroom does not perform tenant screenings or provide Equifax credit reports directly to Housing Providers.
Partnership Verification: Enterprise customers can request proof of the Equifax partnership after signing an NDA with Openroom.
In August 2023, Openroom signed an official agreement with Equifax to work with them as a Data Furnisher partner.
Throughout 2023-2024, we have completed several tests to ensure that the data we are providing to Equifax is factual, verified, and complete to the best of our abilities.
As of August 2024, we have officially gone live with the Openroom Rental Debt Ledger to supply Equifax with debts that Tenants owe to Housing Providers.
✅ Openroom supplies Rental Debt data to Equifax
❌ Openroom does pull reports from Equifax directly.
Note to Housing Providers: We are not a Tenant Screening Company that helps you pull Tenant reports for the purposes of tenant vetting from Equifax. You can utilize services such as SingleKey for this.
Note to Renters: We are not able to pull a Credit Report on you to supply to a Landlord. You can utilize services such as Borrowell or Koho to pull a free report.
On the 15th of every month, we calculate the interest owed on the rental debt and send the latest amount owing on the rental debt court order into Equifax. Then, we can help you do an verification to see if it showed up on the report (optional).
