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.
