Tenant Screening

[Bill Zepeda]

Hello all- First, I want to say how much I enjoy this community!  I'm so grateful to all for the vast amount of knowledge shared in these forums!

Question:  I'm in the process of screening tenants and want to know if it's okay for a married couple to meet the rental criteria (3x income, etc) as a couple, or should I require them to satisfy the criteria individually? I can't find anything in my states Uniform Residential Landlord Act.  So, I don't know if this is state-specific.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks! - Bill
