Estimated rent / square footage Worked example
- A 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with 1,000 square feet in average condition estimates near $1,760 per month.
- The displayed range shows about 10% below and above that midpoint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real market rent appraisal?
No. It is a planning estimate based on simple assumptions, not a professional appraisal or live market feed.
Why does the calculator show a range?
Rent varies by location, timing, amenities, and lease terms. A range is more honest than a single exact number.
Can I use this before listing a rental?
Yes, as an early planning check. Compare it with real nearby listings before making a final decision.
Does condition matter?
Yes. A premium unit can usually support more rent than a basic unit with similar size and layout.
