Does renting an apartment affect your credit score?

I know a mortgage shows up on your credit but does renting an apartment?

As a general rule, no. They are not granting you credit so they do not report to the credit bureaus.

If you were to default on your lease and they needed to attempt collection methods to try to get you to pay it would affect your credit negativly.

Not unless you fail to pay and are turned over to collection or sued.
