How borrowing works locally

Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. A lender may ask for proof of address, and a permanent address is a standard requirement for consumer credit.
