I don't see an ethical problem with that at all. We all know that credit score is not the ultimate determinant of whether or not you can afford what you're doing. You could have a more than adequate income to cover the rent you are taking on but have a lousy credit score because your ex-spouse trashed your credit before getting divorced. Or maybe you had a medical crisis and couldn't work for a while.

As long as you are taking an apartment that you can comfortably afford given your income, I see nothing wrong with doing it now, while your credit is still good and you won't have to explain your whole story to the potential landlord.
