Skyline Living, one of Canada’s leading real estate providers, has announced a strategic partnership with Zenbase, a financial technology company focused on empowering renters, to offer automated rental reporting to Equifax and split rent payment options across their portfolio of over 20,000 suites. This collaboration aims to help tenants improve their financial well-being by enhancing their credit profiles and reducing financial stress.

As part of the partnership, Skyline Living tenants who opt in will benefit from Zenbase’s innovative rental reporting service, which reports both past and future rent payments directly to Equifax. Research has shown that rental payment history is an important factor in building and improving credit scores, with 94% of renters agreeing that reporting rent payments is essential to building their credit.

“This partnership is a significant step in offering our residents more than just a place to live,” said Andrea Rocheleau, Director of Business Operations for Skyline Living. “We are committed to supporting our tenants’ financial journeys, and the response from our residents has been overwhelmingly positive. They appreciate the opportunity to strengthen their credit scores through something as fundamental as paying rent on time. It’s a win-win.”

In addition to credit-building features, Zenbase’s split rent payment option will help alleviate the financial pressure felt by many renters. With 82% of renters reporting lower stress levels when they can split their rent payments, this feature provides greater flexibility and makes managing monthly expenses easier, particularly in the face of inflation. The ability to break down rent payments is seen by 80% of renters as a valuable tool in navigating rising costs of living.

“At Zenbase we are dedicated to offering the flexibility needed to manage the largest recurring expense for Canadian renters and provide options for their unique needs,” said Koray Can Oztekin, Founder and CEO of Zenbase. “Our partnership with Skyline Living reflects our shared commitment to offering residents flexible solutions that positively impact both their financial health and peace of mind.”

The Zenbase platform is already being embraced by residents at Skyline Living properties, with many expressing how these new tools have made managing rent payments and improving their credit easier and more accessible.

In a recent survey, 7 out of 10 renters said that landlords offering rent reporting through Zenbase shows a genuine commitment to supporting their tenants' financial well-being.

Skyline Living’s partnership with Zenbase is just the latest initiative in the company’s ongoing efforts to enhance the rental experience and provide greater value for its residents. Through this collaboration, Skyline Living continues to set a new standard for tenant satisfaction and financial empowerment.

About Zenbase

Zenbase, a leader in smart rent payments, is committed to economic inclusion that fosters financial empowerment for renters. Our solutions aid the financial wellness of renters while improving operational efficiency for property managers. Rent is usually due on the first of the month, but that doesn’t align with most people’s bi-monthly pay cycle. Zenbase fixed that misalignment by offering residents the option to split their rent into two monthly payments and provides other financial health tools including Canada’s only automated rent reporting to support building residents’ credit.
