Rent Calculator — FAQs
Is the 30% rule still realistic?
In cities, often not — 35–40% is common. The fix isn't stretching further, it's housemates, a different area, or negotiating harder.
What do landlords actually check?
Income ≥ 2.5–3× rent, credit check, references — some want a guarantor if you're borderline.
