I have never had a credit card, just debit. So I don’t have a credit score. Do I need one to rent an apartment?

Why would you? Were you planning to borrow money to pay the rent?

Typically they just want references

From what I hear, most landlords do check your credit history. A lack of credit history could look bad.

Do you have a friend or acquaintance that could refer you for an apartment? That helps with lack of credit history

If you need a credit card and have no credit try a secured credit card
You deposit money which acts as your line of credit
A credit card is like a loan that renews every month
So if you deposit 300 for your first secured credit card then that 300 is your loan for the month and it is up to you to spend and pay your balance off in full.
After 3 months to a year you should have progressed from 600 something to higher 600 or lower 700.
A credit report is your history of payments and being trusted with money that is the bank's and paying it back on time.
Or you could get someone to cosign an auto loan or another loan of a different kind and making the payments on time every month.
