It is not likely that a private individual would qualify or pay the funds necessary to report a consumer to the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
However, if the landlord sued former tenants and was granted a judgment, the judgment would show on their credit reports.
There are also alternative credit agencies, called Tenant Screening Bureaus, which cater to the rental market. These agencies have different clients than the "Big 3". A private landlord might find a way to report on one of these lesser known bureaus.
A private landlord can report a tenant to credit agencies if the tenant failed to pay his rent or he has wrongfully overstayed without even paying a monthly rent. A 14-day written notice of broken lease and property damages may be given to tenant.

Then the landlords mortgage will go into default and if he/she continues to not pay the mortgage the property will be foreclosed on, and yes, you will be left in on the street. there is nothing that says (unless it is in specifically in your rental agreement) what your land lord has to do with the money.
If you are buying a new house but still have time left on your apartment lease can you get out of the lease without paying penalties?
Probably not. However, I suggest to you that you negotiate an early termination of your lease with the landlord. Inform him/her that you have purchased a home and that you need to vacate the property before the original term of the lease. offer the landlord to cooperate while the landlord shows the apartment to prospective tenants. Tell the landlord that you are prepared to keep paying rent and vacate the unit only when a new tenant has been secured. Be pro-active, help the landlord. Put up a flyer in your building and/or around your neighborhood regarding your unit for rent. It is most likely that your landlord will be Ok with ending your lease without penalty if he/she has found a replacement tenant, and if you have shown your willlingness to cooperate. Landlords are people too...You'll be amazed how easy it is to get out of your lease without significant cost to you if you appraoch the landlord with the right attitude. Good luck.
What can you do if your tenant doesn't pay and you can't afford the mortgage for your rental home and are close to foreclose?
Canadian Law can allow the Landlord to waive collecting of rent for as long as they wish, but if the renter is more than 30 days later with their rent then you have the right to tell them to leave and give them 1 months notice before you re-rent the suite or house. Go on www.google.com Type in: Tenants Act in the U.S. (or Canada) You'll see what the laws are. You can also have the police escort the renter out and, after 30 days by Canadian Law you can change the locks and hold the tenants possessions until they cough-up with the rent and if the suite or home is damaged as a Landlord you have the right to hold back the damage deposit as well.

That would depend on who's angry wife your talking about. If the tenants wife damages your property or your landlords property then the tenants wife is liable for those damages.
