When I send some value null for my view, and Razor tries to render the value, is returned a Exception. There is a way when the view receive a value null, render this as a blank space without having to run checks with if?

Yes.
Suppose, for example, that @model has a property called Numero which came void for some reason. Good practice for displaying the value is like this:
@(Model.Numero ?? 0)
This operator has a picturesque name: Operator of null coalescence. It reads like this:
Use
Model.Numeroif not null. Otherwise use 0.
As an operator, you can use for any type of variable, not just integers.
Other option is the ternary conditional operator, which is basically a if-then-Else one-line. This you can use when you need to specify the test to be done:
@(Model.Numero > 0 ? Model.Numero : 0)
That is to say:
If
Model.Numerois greater than zero, use it as value. Otherwise, use 0.
For the case of white space, something like this can suit well:
@(Model.PropertyQuePodeVirNula ?? "")
Or else:
@(Model.PropertyQuePodeVirNula != null ?? Model.PropertyQuePodeVirNula.ToString() : "")

Opa, I did not specify very well the question. I would like to do this without having to do checks with if, for example.

Without checking, there’s no way.

You can use the null propagation operator, available from the C# 6.0.
Follow the example:
@Model?.Quantidade
Read more about this operator in the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/null-conditional-operators.
