If you do not own a house in the district or state, you are not qualified to represent the district or state.

If you do not own a house in the district or state, you are not qualified to represent the district or state.

Where did you find this bit of nonsense?

Here's what the Constitution says:

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen. [U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 3, clause 3]

I believe you are also allowed to rent a residence in said district or state, so long as that’s your primary home, etc., etc.

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years,
and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected,
be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

I guess the real question is what is an ‘inhabitant’. Forget resident....
