Each state sets its own requirements, but in general, receiving rent from rental property could be considered "self-employment" and therefore income would be reduced from benefits on a prorated weekly basis, to the extent it was less than the benefit. If it exceeded the benefit, you would not receive it.

Technically, you could pay for an apartment with unemployment benefits. However, if you are unemployed, and trying to rent an apartment, it will be very difficult for you to get approved without having a job. The apartment owners want to make sure that you have a steady income to be able to pay your rent, so they may not want to rent an apartment to someone who is unemployed.
