It could, but only in the sense that a particular landlord would check a prospective tenant's credit reports and use those reports as a basis for disqualifying tenancy. Otherwise, no.

The issue at odds here seems to be an implicit assumption that an apartment (or any dwelling) lease agreement constitutes a debt. Rental payments constitute necessary living expenses, not debts; therefore are not within the normal, legal purview of bankruptcy proceedings or debt judgments.

Your debt is completely your own, and will not affect your fiance's credit rating. It would play a part in purchasing a house in your name only. As far as renting, landlords will usually consider you a "good risk". After BK discharge the person is for the most part (or should be) debt free.
