It's important that you decide on a budget before you start viewing properties to rent. This is because you need to make sure you're only taking on a rent that you can comfortably afford.
When you apply for a tenancy, we will verify that your gross annual income (before tax) is sufficient to cover the monthly rent. We normally require tenants to have a gross income of at least two and a half times (2.5x) the rent (in certain circ*mstances this may be slightly higher). If you are asked to provide a guarantor, they will need to prove a gross annual income of at least three times (3x) the rent.
