There are some great perks to living in apartments in Chico California, but there can be some drawbacks too.

Only consider places you can afford
If you allow yourself to look at apartments in Chico or Redding that are out of your price range, then you’ll be tempted to compromise.
You’re starting to look for apartments and the applications mention having to do a credit check on you. You find yourself wondering what will happen, if anything, to your credit score when they do.
What if you have no credit history? Does a credit check even do anything? Once you start renting, what does completing payments do to your credit? What happens if you miss a payment and what does that do to your credit?
Lots of questions happen when it comes to renting an apartment and whether or not it will help your credit, build your credit, or hurt your credit. We found this article by The Balance that covers all of the questions above and more!
But first, why do property managers pull your credit score in the first place?
