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.
