My son lives with a room mate. He works and his room mate is a student. Can they both claim their portion of the rent, and if not who is better off claiming it?

Where a rental unit is occupied in a shared accommodation arrangement, only one person may claim the Tax Credit. The lease or rental agreement must include the name of the person claiming the tax credit. Furthermore, if one tenant in a dwelling unit has received RentAid benefits from the Department of Family Services and Labour, only that tenants can claim the Tax Credit. A tenant is not eligible for the Education Property Tax Credit if the rental unit is in a single dwelling home occupied by the owner.
