    Hello all,

    Again a newbie here , I have a question I am planning to move to a new apartment soon , is the credit check done by the leasing office considered a hard pull? is there anyway to avoid that?

    Thank you again for your input.

    Mine was a hard pull.

    Can you avoid it? Probably not, but you could ask if they would take your FICO numbers pulled from MyFico.com. But that would cost you $30-$50.

    Is it that big of a deal?

    Ccbob raises a good point . . . one inquiry is not going to drop your scores beyond a marginal extent.

    Never seen it soft. I looked back on an old one that I had in 2005 and in 2007, both are hard.
