Do both applicants need to qualify?

If I have a boyfriend and girlfriend who are both applying to be tenants, one qualifies and one does not (low credit). Do you guys require all applicants to meet your criteria invidually? Is it different if they are married?

    @Derek Morrison  Usually both if BF/GF because you could wind up with the bad credit one living there. Especially if they don't have rental history together.   I generally don't set a number I look at credit history for lower scores if it is a medical issue I will view differently than if you just are overburdened by debt and just not paying.
