FAQ
What is the ideal rent-to-income (RTI) ratio for tenants?
Most financial advisors recommend that the rent-to-income (RTI) ratio should not exceed 30% of a tenant’s gross monthly income. This ensures that tenants have enough income left over for other expenses.
Can the Landlord Rent formula be used for commercial properties?
Yes, the Landlord Rent formula can be applied to commercial properties as well. However, the acceptable RTI ratio may vary based on the type of business and the industry standards.
How can landlords adjust the RTI ratio to attract more tenants?
Landlords can adjust the RTI ratio lower to make their properties more affordable and attractive to a wider range of tenants. However, they must balance this with the need to cover their expenses and generate a profit.
