No, landlords cannot see your full credit score directly. What they can do is request your credit report with your permission. From that, they can see:
- Your payment history
- Outstanding debts and loans
- Collections or bankruptcies
- Number of recent credit inquiries
They usually use this information to assess your creditworthiness, which helps them decide if you’re likely to pay rent on time. Most landlords just get a credit report summary or a rental score, not your exact numeric score.
