Your landlord, phone, cable, electricity, gas, and etc. companies run what's called a 'soft' credit pull/check that does not damage your credit score. It is when you request a line of credit or an increase in your current line of credit that calls for a 'hard' credit pull/check. These hard credit checks are what damage your score not your rental applications, don't be ignorant!
From a high school student perspective they'll take this about as serious as D.A.R.E. or Sex Ed; just another hour for kids to draw ligers and unicorns.
