<human>: In Oregon, my brothers duplex was sold and is now under new management. He and his girlfriend of 6 years broke up, amicable believe it or not. He is a cook at a restaurant, so he wants roommates of course to help pay rent. It's a three bedroom duplex. 

The landlord literally waited until today, she's had their application for a month, to tell my brother his two potential roommates weren't approved and he doesn't meet their financial quota. She is saying each roommate must make 2.5 times what the rent is....but I thought that was the point of roommates? She also said one guy had no rental experience. 

He's in a month to month lease. She asked his ex if they were going to try and work it out and she said no. The ex makes way more money than my brother.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: brother was told each person living in apartment must make 2.5 times the rent, not all of them together making 2.5 times the rent.
