Not sure, but when our oldest was a sophomore in college, he wanted a place off campus. We got him one at a reasonable price but his roommates , which were provided by the apt complex, happened to have drug issues. We quickly got him his own small place and paid the remaining rent on his old lease so our credit would not be jeopardized. We didn't see anything about a fine in his lease. Maybe that's just this individual complex or the state we live in.
Yes, by "fine" I meant whatever you have to pay to get out of the lease early. Usually at least one month's extra rent or something (trying to remember from when I leased). I don't think it affects your credit score as long as you pay what you owe (in anything, any circumstance). If it doesn't go to a collection agency it's not going to affect your credit.
