Your monthly rent is your largest recurring expense — it should be working for you. Central Rentals Canada reports your on-time payments to Equifax Canada so your credit score reflects the full picture.
Renters in New Brunswick pay an average of $1,290 per month — yet that payment has historically gone unrecognized by credit bureaus. Central Rentals Canada's Credit Builder program changes that by reporting your on-time rent payments to Equifax Canada, helping you establish or strengthen your credit profile without taking on new debt. Whether you're new to Canada, rebuilding your score, or simply looking to make your money work harder, rent reporting is one of the most straightforward tools available to New Brunswick tenants.
Every on-time rent payment is reported as a positive tradeline, helping you establish a longer, stronger credit history — one of the most weighted factors in your credit score.
Unlike credit cards or loans, rent reporting lets you build credit using a bill you're already paying, so there's zero risk of accumulating new debt in the process.
Whether you're a newcomer, a student, or someone rebuilding after financial hardship, rent reporting in New Brunswick has no credit score minimum to get started.
A stronger credit profile can unlock better interest rates on car loans, mortgages, and personal credit — saving you real money over time.
Eligible tenants can request up to 24 months of past rent payment history be reported, giving your credit file an immediate head start.
Your data is transmitted directly to Equifax Canada using bank-grade encryption, and you remain in full control of your reporting preferences at all times.
New Brunswick renters are well-positioned to benefit from rent reporting: the province's average credit score sits at 746, meaning many tenants are already in solid standing, but consistent rent reporting through Equifax Canada can push scores into ranges that unlock premium lending rates and better housing opportunities. With roughly 220,000 renters across the province — from Moncton and Fredericton to Saint John and smaller communities — demand for accessible credit-building tools is growing steadily. New Brunswick also has a notable proportion of newcomers and young renters who may have thin credit files, making rent reporting a particularly practical first step toward financial inclusion. Because Equifax Canada is the bureau partner for this province, the data integrates seamlessly with the credit profiles most New Brunswick lenders already pull when evaluating applications.

No, enrollment does not trigger a hard credit inquiry and cannot lower your score. Rent reporting only adds positive payment data to your file; missed payments are not reported by default unless you opt into full reporting.
