                What Is a Good Rent-to-Income Ratio?

                What Is a Good Rent-to-Income Ratio?

                  A good rent-to-income ratio is 30% or less, meaning that you should not spend more than 30% of your income on rent. Choosing an apartment that costs less than 30% of your income keeps your rent-to-income ratio under this threshold and shows potential landlords that you are financially stable and can afford their rent.
