Renter Risk Score Guide

The Renter Risk Score from Experian is a new solution that predicts the likelihood that a resident will become delinquent on a lease. Our sophisticated model analyzes over 2,000 attributes that describe renters’ historical financial behaviors, their trends, and rental payments. When combined, this score helps predict the likelihood of a lease going bad. In fact, our Rental Risk Score is at least 20% more accurate than VantageScore 4.0. This means you will find more qualified residents and could see a significant improvement in overall lease performance.
