There's been normalization around using rent as additional inputs into a credit score: https://www.cnbc.com/select/your-rent-payments-can-raise-you...

I'm not sure they're all that available or popular (they're highly dependent on your landlord having the correct paperwork and such) but the place I rented an apartment last year had this available and it did get reported

Yes, that's been a push for a while. I'm glad to see it's becoming more popular. But it doesn't work if unless the landlord opted into their payment system.
