One of my relatives is renting a two bed, two bath apartment for $2400 a month, their rent is going up $400 a month. They’re trying to move out in a few weeks. Anything nice & in a decent neighborhood wants you to make three times what your rent payment will be per month. The dad is a school teacher & the mom is a stay at home mom. What they can afford, according to the three month rules, is $1600 rent payment & trust me - maybe in a very crappy neighborhood they could find that price. I don’t know how young kids are able to afford to move out on their own.
