Based on the standard US "3x Rent" rule. Landlords require your gross income to be at least 3 times the monthly rent.
US Real Estate Note: Data represents estimated 2026 market averages for class B/B+ apartments. Luxury buildings (Class A) will be significantly higher. In the US, "1BHK" is referred to as a "1-Bedroom". Most landlords mandate a strict income verification check (pay stubs/W-2) to ensure you meet the 30% affordability rule before approving an application. Utilities (water, electricity, internet) are usually not included in base rent.
