Need the perspective of this community.

My roommate (44M) and I (25M) want to move out of our apartment and into a house. We are both employed in high-income jobs and are well kept and put together people. Good tenants.

However, I have heard landlords are wary of renting to 2 single males because of the stereotype of single male roommates being messy, partying etc. Is that true? Is there anything about our situation that would raise a red flag to you? And if so, what can we do to make the landlord comfortable and show him that we really are good tenants?

Thank you all.

@William Houstian I don't believe that to be true. I think the landlords will take a look at your background, credit, income, etc. and will conduct a good interview with you to see if you are a good fit.

I would provide the landlord with a solid past history, references, employment records, etc.

Most rowdy single guys are the ones who don't have a high income and a solid background, in my experience
