Short answer
Yes, eligible past on-time rent can sometimes be reported through a lookback. WeReportYourRent supports up to 24 months of eligible historical rent, subject to landlord or payment verification and bureau acceptance.
What a lookback means
A lookback is an initial submission of eligible past rent history, not only future monthly rent. The data still needs to be verified before it can be furnished.
What may be needed
Lease dates, rent amount, rental address, landlord details, and payment records may be needed to support historical reporting.
Why lookback is not guaranteed
Some past payments may not be verifiable, may not meet eligibility requirements, or may not be accepted by a bureau. We do not guarantee a score result from lookback reporting.
