Frequently asked questions
Is 3,500 rent affordable for me?
Compare the rent with your take-home pay and recurring expenses rather than relying on a qualification ratio alone.
Do landlord income rules equal personal affordability?
No. A landlord screening rule focuses on qualification, while personal affordability also considers debt, savings and the rest of your monthly cash flow.
