Ok, do rent next.

Paying rent doesn't count towards your credit score (at least it didn't a decade ago when I was getting my mortgage). And it's a glaring signal of how the system isn't built for what it claims: evaluating your ability to pay obligations on time. No, the system is built to trap people in poverty and enrich the rentier class.

Just what we need, every sleazebag landlord who owns 3 apartments and thinks he's hot shit holding his ability to fuck your credit up over your head.
