Is student loan debt taken into consideration when a landlord approves a tenant for leasing an apartment?

Question by Fiona432: Is student loan debt taken into consideration when a landlord approves a tenant for leasing an apartment?
I’m a recent college graduate with a steady income and a student loan that is not in default. I’m looking to lease an apartment, and I heard that landlords are not allowed to count student loan debt against a person when evaluating their credit and debt. Is this true?

Best answer:

Answer by Alex
I’ve never heard of this, but it doesn’t make common sense. Landlords are checking credit to see if a potential tenant will be able to uphold the financial obligations of a lease (i.e. pay rent). Having a loan, any loan, will mean obligations to another company and dip into the amount of money you have available for rent.
