It would not only be HARD, but impossible for you and your cohorts to rent a house that is 2000 a month. You state that all 3 of you only bring in 3100 a month. Your rent should only be around 1000. If the landlord was dumb enough to rent to you, he better have his eviction papers ready, because unless one of you get a huge increase in your income, you are going to slowly, but surely fall behind, and find you cannot afford this place. Then, you will be back on YA asking, “How hard is it to break a lease…”

Find a cheaper place, this one is out of your reach financially, and would strap you for cash every month.

Renting a house is easy if the income of everyone on the lease = 3 times rent. If you don’t make 3 times the rent all together, renting is very difficult.

So you have $3,100 a month?
Rent shouldn’t be more than like 1/3 how much you make. You still have to pay bills like electricity and gas and parking and cell phone and internet. Just to maintain.

So don’t rent a place more than $1,000.
All the other bills.
All the things you need to buy.
All the things you want to buy.
