Paying rent on time just became even more valuable. With RentPayment Rewards powered by Piñata, you can earn rewards and even build your credit—simply by making your rent payments through the RentPayment portal.
This program is optional, easy to use, and designed just for residents.
What Is RentPayment Rewards?
RentPayment Rewards is a rewards and credit‑building program available in your RentPayment online portal. It’s powered by Piñata, a trusted platform that helps renters get more from their on‑time payments.
Once you enroll, your rent payments can earn points, qualify for rewards, and—if you choose—be reported to the major credit bureaus.

3. Look for RentPayment Rewards and click “Activate Now.”
4. Once activated, you can access and manage your rewards from the My Rewards section of your account.
How On‑Time Payments Are Counted
- A payment is considered on time if it’s made between the 1st and the last day of the calendar month. As long as you pay your rent at any point during the month it’s due, it's considered on time.
- Multiple payments in the same month are added together
- One on‑time payment status is reported per month
- Your total monthly payments must be at least $100 to qualify for reporting
Example:
If you pay $500 on the 1st and $200 on the 10th, that counts as one $700 on‑time payment for the month.
Credit Reporting: Your Choice
Credit reporting is optional. During enrollment, you’ll be asked whether you want your rent payments reported.
To enable credit reporting:
- Your name must match your profile
- You’ll provide your date of birth
- A Social Security number is optional
Only positive, on‑time payments are reported.
