If you cosign for an apartment lease will an amount show up on your credit report even though you are not the primary borrower?
A lease is not an agreement to lend money, but to accept monthly installments in exchange for housing over a period of time. Since there is no debt, there is nothing to report on a credit report. The leasing agency will pull both of your credit reports to make sure they want to offer you the lease, and it may create a small address variance on your report (this is unlikely to be of consequence and will not affect your score) unless they make the pull with your correct address. Nothing from your leasing company will appear on your credit unless you default on monies owed (leave without paying a portion of rent or a deposit). If that occurs, they will usually sell the debt to a collection agency that will report you to the credit agencies.
