I never had mine checked, nor did other people I know. We simply were approved on the spot because we were able to give a security deposit and 2months rent.
I have heard in many areas landlords do check, but normally if you can come up with a deposit and 2 months rent they will figure you have enough to keep them covered. Especially if you can prove steady income.
Typically credit scores are only important when renting if you are very bordeline with other aspects of the deal.

They need to make sure that the people they are renting to have a habit of paying their bills on time. Do you realize how hard it is to evict someone. If you can eliminate some of the risk, why not.

Because it shows character. The better questions would be...why wouldn't they??
Most landlords don't worry about minor things, but if you have multiple collection accounts for utility bills or judgements for evictions...they may not rent to you.

They use your credit to judge if you are a risk to have in the rental, if you will likely pay on time or sue them if something was to happen.

Simple, to see if you are responsible or not.
If you do not pay your bills as agreed? Why would they think that you will pay them as agreed?
