A landlord cant report to someones credit lol...What they can do is sue if you dont pay them, hence a court order would be the 1st thing on the bad tenant's credit report. Its a real score dropper.

I recall years ago a group was trying to get people that pay rent instead of a mortage get credit for paying on time which would have been fair being that rent us usually right around what a mortgage would be anyways, mostly even more. This was in NY state and got turned down.
