To be able to rent a house, it is important that you can pay your rent every month. The following income guidelines have been drawn up for this purpose: 

  • The starting point is that the gross monthly income must be at least 3 times the monthly rent. 
  • In the case of two incomes, the second income counts for 50%. 
  • Holiday pay, fixed bonuses and a thirteenth month may be added to the gross annual income. 
  • Pensioners have a minimum gross monthly income of 2.5 times the monthly rent because of the lower tax burden. 
  • Independent entrepreneurs must submit the most recent annual accounts for at least two closed financial years.
