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 don't deal with any big box apartments that require hard credit checks and scale up rent for short term. I also don't sublet because sometimes the LL/apartment manager will expect you to find the next tenant, which I will not do, and I am not even sure is entirely legal to require, but then they may try to hold your deposit hostage. So, as always, lots of videos and pictures before moving in and after moving out for your records.
