Q: if I havent paid my rent for 3 months and I still havent been able to pay will that be marked on my credit?
Hi I’ am a resident in San Ramon California leasing an apartment. Me and my roommates were hit really hard by the pandemic. We have been laid off by our jobs and we havent been able to pay the partial amount of are rent for 3 months and my question was will this go on my credit if I was not able to pay.
A:
IF whoever you pay rent to is a "credit reporter" then yes.
IF you end up getting evicted in a court of law, then yes.
IF you can work it out with your LL, then no.
Good luck with it.
