Can I afford this rent? The 40% rule explained

How MYRENTA checks affordability for salaried and self-employed renters, and how to prepare your application.

Before approving monthly rent, MYRENTA checks that the repayment fits your income so you're not stretched every month.

If you're employed

Your monthly repayment should be no more than 40% of your net monthly income.

If you're self-employed

Your average monthly money coming in, shown on your bank statements, should be at least 2.5 times the monthly repayment.

How to prepare

Have six months of bank statements ready, make sure the name on them matches your profile, and use the in-app checklist to see what else you need.
