Rentcels resorting to renting rooms for 1k a month?

Typical ad in my area

“Fantastic 10x8 room for rent for $1000 per month, no access to common areas, no pets, no guests, laundromat nearby. Mini fridge included. Minimum 2 month deposit and 12 month lease with credit and background check. Young professionals only female preferred”

Absolutely time to rope if you’re a renter

Rooms here are about $700-850 a room but usually whole-house access.

Back in my home town, that wold easily get you a albeit chitty 1BR apartment.

Meanwhile my ex literally just offered to pay me $800/mo to let her have a small space in the living room and to share common areas and chit, she'd get curtains and dividers/seperators. This chit is real unfortunately. Rent is just too dam high to live alone unless you make $60k+ before taxes.

All the calculators tell me that I should cap my rent bill at around $2000-3000, but even then that's like freakin' 23-33% of my income thrown away at rent if I were to do that. And I make $120k gross before taxes. It's nearly impossible to find a good place in a safe area these days for cheaper than $1500. So if you make $60k, happen to live in a state without state taxes and net around $49k, you can then afford up to $1650/mo capped at 33%.

33% is bullchit. If you make 120k you can easily spend 80% of that on rent and still have money left over for saving/otherstuff. A cheeseburger is $5 regardless if I make 20k/year or 200k/year. Percentages are a terrible measurement for finances.

Same for most rooms for rent I've seen in DFW. Some cost more [up to $1,000], but with access to the house and nothing about not having any guests.

brb paying $1000 dollars to be confined to a single room. You might as well go to prison and get your single room for free with some food thrown in too.
