Rent To Own Ps A Friend And I Are About To Rent Our First Apartment. Credit Check?

A friend and I are about to rent our first apartment. Credit check? - rent to own ps

I am 18 years and my boyfriend is 20 Neither before rented, and I was just curious if they are to do a credit check? As far as I know, I have no merit, I've never owned a credit card, etc. And I'm pretty Clueless on credit, and I wonder how can I get a good credit or, if you need? Thank you!
PS. If there are no answers, as pointless, my friend and I would not rent because of his previous experiences.
