Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

why a credit report?

Just wondering how important credit is when trying to lease a new apartment? My husband and I are trying to lease a bigger apartment and our credit is poor, but we have great renting history and income so we are wondering how much credit will play into the management's decision.
