What do both the Senate and the House of Representatives require of people running for election?

Both senators and representatives must be inhabitants of the state they represent when elected. So a candidate must be a resident of a U.S. state. The other requirements differ: senators must be at least 30 and U.S. citizens for 9 years, while representatives must be at least 25 and citizens for 7 years.
