Yes, you can rent if you have no credit history. However, securing rental accommodation could be difficult and the rental rate could be higher than normal.
If you are paying rent it is a debit. If you are a landlord receiving rent its a credit.

Only clients of a credit reporting agency may "report" credit information. Rent payments, therefore, are typically excluded.

Debit Cash for the cash received, and credit a liability account you can call Prepaid Rent or Prepaid Deposits. Basically, you credit a liability account because you "owe" them the rent for the month they have paid for in advance. Once the month has passed, you can debit the Prepaid Rent and credit Rental Income. Or, if the prepaid rent is a deposit made, you just keep it on your books as a liability until the end of their lease, at which time they will either be refunded the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Cash) or if they don't pay their last month's rent you can use the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Rental Income).
You may be required to have a co-signer or a roommate that does have credit.
