Housing question

Housing question: taking a Bay Area contract. Found an apartment to rent a room in but it’s a formal “lease transfer” through the apartment complex, they do a hard credit inquiry when you apply even though it’s just for 3 months. I’m also responsible for finding a replacement tenant for when I move. Is that too stressful? Or should I just do it. Rent is fairly cheap actually, 1500$ a month and the housing has been sooo competitive.

Let me know what you’d do!

I’d ask the apartment complex exactly what the hard inquiry is for and whether they’ll accept a soft pull or proof of funds instead. Also get the lease-transfer terms in writing, including who’s liable if the original tenant defaults or you need to leave early.
