AB 2747: do you have to offer rent reporting?
Since April 1, 2025, California's AB 2747 requires many landlords to offer tenants the option to have their rent payments reported to a credit bureau. Answer 3 questions to see if you're covered.
1. How many units does the building have?
2. Do you own more than one residential rental building?
3. Are you a REIT, a corporation, or an LLC with a corporate member?
Likely COVERED
You must offer rent reporting
Under AB 2747 you must offer each tenant, in writing, the option to have their rent payments reported to at least one credit bureau — at lease start and once a year. The tenant fee cannot exceed the lesser of your actual cost or $10/month, and the tenant may opt out any time (with a 6-month re-enrollment lockout).
Likely EXEMPT
Not required — but you can still offer it
A building of 15 or fewer units is exempt unless the owner has more than one rental building AND is a REIT/corporation/LLC-with-a-corporate-member. Offering it anyway helps your tenants build credit and is a selling point — CertRent makes it free to them.
