What this means for you
Landlords and property managers often check credit. A collection from an old apartment or utility bill can cost you an application or a larger deposit.
- Old apartment debts. Move-out charges you never agreed to can end up in collections. Check them carefully.
- Utility accounts. Make sure closed accounts show the right final balance.
- You can dispute for free. We handle the paperwork and follow-up for you.

Renting in Savannah? Make your credit work for you.
With fewer than half of Savannah homes owner-occupied, most residents go through tenant screening at some point. Here’s how to prepare, and how renting can help you build credit for a future home.
Four steps for renters
1. Check before you apply
Review all three reports so a landlord doesn’t find a surprise first. Free weekly reports are at AnnualCreditReport.com.
2. Know your rights if denied
If a landlord denies you based on a screening report, you’re entitled to the name of the company that supplied it and a free copy.
3. Report your rent
Some services report on-time rent payments, and newer scoring models can count that history.
4. Plan your move to owning
The typical Savannah owner pays only about $210 more per month than typical rent. A stronger score can make that step easier.
