Northern Arizona University: Can student rent be counted automatically?
DIRECT ANSWER
Original source observation: October 16, 2026. Primary-source review: October 17, 2026. Confirm current dates, costs, eligibility and availability with the linked publisher. Campus facts and general planning guidance do not determine an individual property's lawful use, employment benefits or mortgage eligibility.
Do not assume a student's rent can be counted as qualifying income. NAU's published housing charges are university, per-student room rates, not a private lease or borrower rental history. Ask the lender whether the actual loan program and occupancy scenario permit rental income and how appraisal or market-rent treatment, executed leases if applicable, and other documentation affect the application. Treat projected rent as unconfirmed for qualification until the lender or underwriter accepts it.
