Married tenants..joint application, separate, or just one spouse?

[Marissa Mallamo]

Hi BP! As new landlords, we do not have enough experience with the screening process, and would like to get advice from others. We have a married couple wanting to apply and I am planning to use Cozy to screen them. Do I ask them to both fill out a separate application? As a new landlord, I find myself being led by my emotions. I worry that I might be offending or bothering them by asking them both to apply separately. I guess I just need to be reassured that it's the "norm" to require separate applications, so I can be more confident in my decision. Thanks in advance!
