How do you braek a lease with an auto finance company?

From my understanding the only way to break a lease is to pay it off or stop paying. The latter suggestion obviously has detrimental effects on your credit. The best way to "break" a lease is to pay whatever payments are left on the lease. Financially this might be a real good idea. If you are still under the mileage for the lease and it is cheaper to pay the remainder of your lease payments, rather than pay the mileage penalty.


Does breaking a rental lease agreement affect your credit rating?

Not in and of itself. Lease agreements are not typically reported on your credit report and are not normally part of your "rating". However, there are other credit bureaus used by apartment complexes. These agencies, called tenant screening bureaus, have different information than your credit report. They focus on rental payment history, evictions, lease agreements and utilities. It is possible that breaking your lease would be reported on one of these lesser known bureaus. This might impact your ability to rent in the future. Another possibility is that the lease holder can always sue you for the balance due on the contract. If a judgment were granted against you, all the provisions allowed under your state's laws would come into play. These include garnishment of wages, freezing of bank accounts, and reporting the judgment on the public records portion of your standard credit report. That would most certainly affect your credit.


How long does a broken apartment lease stay on your credit?

There would only be an entry on the CR if the landlord won a creditor judgment by means of a civil lawsuit against the renter. Evictions and defaulted lease/rental agreements are not placed on CR. There are several agencies which gather information about such issues however, and supply the information to landlords, rental agencies etc. when inquiries are made.
