I have two or more text fields and I want to apply the same properties to them, avoiding to write two or more times the same code

Try Like this

var ruleSet1 = {
        required: true,  
        minlength: 3,
        maxlength: 50
    };

$('#form').validate({
    rules: {
        field_1: ruleSet1,
        field_2: ruleSet1,
        field_3: ruleSet1
    }
});

or do it one by one like the following,

$("#form").validate({  
    rules:  
    {
    name: { required: true },
    surname:{  
        required: true,  
        minlength: 3,
        maxlength: 50   
        }
    }
});
