FAQ
You can have a credit history and credit scores in the U.S. regardless of whether you have an SSN or are a U.S. citizen because the major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — don't require an SSN to create and build a U.S. credit history.
Providing your Social Insurance Number (S.I.N.) is optional. If you provide your S.I.N., we will cross-reference it with our records to help ensure that we disclose the correct information to you. We will not use it for any other purpose or share it with any third party.
If you want to check your credit history without an SSN, you may need to physically mail a credit report request form to the bureaus with your ITIN in place of an SSN. You can find the instructions for Experian and TransUnion online. Equifax might let you check your report online.
Credit score requirements for apartments vary by landlord, but most require at least a 670. Landlords can also view your credit report for any delinquencies or accounts in collections. If you have a low credit score, landlords may ask for upfront payments, guarantors, or references.

Credit score requirements for apartments vary by landlord, but most require at least a 670. Landlords can also view your credit report for any delinquencies or accounts in collections.
So, if your renter has a score of 670 or higher, that's a very good credit score for most rentals. Most landlords are looking for a score somewhere between 600 – 650 since renters don't have the credit history of making mortgage payments to boost their credit score.
