I can either get evicted or skip, I have never even heard of skipping a lease.

skipping doesn't look so hot.
eviction is even worse.

Eviction or breaking (skipping) a lease will have the same effect on your credit report only if the lessor either obtains a judgement or places a collection. If the lessor does neither of those things, then it will have no effect on your credit.

as an apartment manager--both are equally bad---you owe past rent and the management company will take you to court one way or the other. We had a guy who thought he could skip out and 2 months later when he applied for a place in another state--we nailed him==>with court cost, back rent and late fees. With the age of the computer there is realyl no where to run and nowhere to hide from your debts. Be upright with your debts and work with your debtors to make payments.

It looks bad. The same as walking out on a credit card. If possible, it is better to try and work something out with the apartment complex. Tell them what you are doing and why. Some are willing to work with you so you don't get nailed on your credit report.
Good luck. We've all been there.

either way, it shows up on your credit, because if you get evicted, you are taken to court for the balance of your lease, and if you skip on it, they have your social security umber and they can track you down and still take you to court

A missed mortgage payment is very bad on you credit score, but a lease isn't as bad, as long as you haven't done it more then once. Goodluck.
