So I currently live under my parents in a apartment and my dad and my mom’s name is on the rent lease. I would like to help them out with financial situation so was curious on what the exact requirements are to qualify for BAH. So in order to get BAH during basic/ait and during deployments in the US or overseas, what do I need to provide to qualify for BAH?

I don't know if this is still the requirement, but when I was NG I had to provide my rental contract for BAH, even though I was married.

You have to be providing more than half the monthly income as support of your parents to be considered Secondary Dependents to qualify for BAH. Google Secondary Dependent Army for a full set of rules, but more than half the monthly income is the big one.
