"We do charge an application fee per adult or one fee for married couple."

I know this is only slightly related to your original question, but having a policy where you charge single people less than a married couple can be viewed as a discriminatory practice.

You're essentially rewarding a married couple for their marital status, despite the fact that you have to pay for 2 applications for 2 people regardless of their status.

This can be viewed as you wanting more married people to apply, probably because you view them as more 'stable.' You're putting up a financial barrier, even though it's a small one, for groups of single roommates to apply.

Application criteria, fees, and everything else should be clearly written in your application and should be applied to all applicants equally.
