HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research published a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) guide for positive rent reporting in HUD-assisted housing. The document clarifies the legal obligations HUD-assisted housing providers must adhere to when participating in rent reporting programs and details the evidence on the benefits of positive rent reporting. Providers should use this guidance to determine when payment information can be shared with third-party rent reporting providers or credit bureaus to ensure tenant rights to privacy are upheld.
