Some property management companies do require a credit check as part of the application process. Having very little or poor credit does not necessarily mean you will be unable to find a place to live. If you have very little or poor credit, you may not be able to sign a lease by yourself, but don't worry, you won't be left homeless. A family member can sign on as a guarantor and you could be moving into your new place in no time.
