Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution sets forth three qualifications for representatives: each representative must be at least twenty-five years old, must have been a citizen of the United States for the past seven years, and must be (at the time of the election) an inhabitant of the state they represent. It is not, however, required for the representative to live in the district they will represent. The age and citizenship qualifications for representatives are less stringent than those for senators.

A minimum of 25 years old, a citizen of the U.S. for 7 years, and residency in the state being represented (i.e., if you are going to represent California, you can't live in Florida).
To madskier:
No, you're thinking of the Supreme Court.

You have to be a good liar.
