Rent Score Improvement Report
Just 3 points from the Excellent band
Consistent on-time payments and good property care in your next tenancy can move you into the Excellent band.
Priority 1: Late Rent Payments
0% in this tenancyA landlord reported rent payments more than 7 days overdue more than once. On-time payment is the highest-weighted factor in your Rentscore.
Practical steps
- Set up a standing order for a day or two after payday, so rent leaves your account automatically.
- If a payment will be late, tell your landlord in writing before the due date and agree a new date.
- Keep bank statements that show on-time payments; they are useful evidence if a record is ever disputed.
