Renting a home is a common choice for many individuals. Renters typically pay a monthly or weekly fee to their landlord, who owns the property. A lease, or rental agreement, outlines the rent amount and duration of the rental period. An essential guideline for renters is the "renter’s rule," which advises spending no more than one week's income on a month's rent. Following this principle ensures that renters maintain financial stability and can cover other essential expenses like food, utilities, and transportation.
