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

Can you point me to that citation regarding home ownership?
Thanks
“Can you point me to that citation regarding home ownership?”
I’m not all that familure with Louisiana law as their legal system are based on Napoleonic Code, but I have never heard if a case of a congressman, senator or president not owning a home in their home district or home state.
If there is no residency requirements, then people could be elected to senate seats if states they have never lived or never even visited.

In addition to age and citizenship requirements, residency (not home ownerhship) is a factor. What constitutes a “resident” is determined by state law.
And the criteria often varies depending upon the purpose. For example, a person living in a state for 60 days might be a “resident” for voting purposes but a non-resident who is ineligible for in-state tuition at a state university.
