Can two Aggie roommates combine income to qualify for an apartment?

Quick answer

Often yes, but the exact method depends on the property’s rental criteria. Many communities evaluate the combined qualifying income of approved leaseholders, while others may apply additional rules to each applicant. Roommates should also understand that qualifying together can create joint lease responsibilities. Before applying, ask how income is combined and what happens if one roommate fails screening or later cannot pay.
