late rent payments affect mortgage?

i was late on rent twice in the last 3 years. i do not know if lenders check rental history but i'm nervous about this. i have not had a late payment for 13 months, however, and received salary increase so i don't anticipate any trouble with paying my mortgage and my credit is above 710. can i still qualify for a low rate? by christopherwaites... from Plymouth, Massachusetts.

You should not have a problem. Late payments on rental history will not result in a higher rate, but it could disqualify you if there were any in the past 12 months, but only payments that are over 30 days late are a concern for the lender.. if you were late a week or two, it wont be an issue.

All loans, regardless or program, get run through an automated underwriting system. If your loan receives an approval, you do not need a Verification of Rent. Based on the information provided, I do not think you will need to worry but it is always best to pick a Bank/Lender and have them prequalify/preapprove you for a loan.
