With the median asking rent in Manhattan around $4,000, the minimum income to qualify for a median apartment is $160,000.
If an applicant doesn’t meet this requirement, they need to find a guarantor who makes at least 80 times the rent to cosign their lease.
“When I first moved into this apartment, it was $1,882 a month and I was making $65,000,” Annan says. “I was very privileged enough to afford that rent requirement. But because it wasn't 40 times that, I needed a guarantor.” She says it was something that was embarrassing to deal with as a 29-year-old with a master's degree. “I proved I can make it on my own. But here is a roadblock that doesn't make sense and seems to be very classist to push certain people out,” she says.BusinessGOP Megadonor Peter Thiel Signals He Is Done Helping Ohio Senate Hopeful J.D.
