      To be fair, a single person shouldn’t be paying that much if they make less than 4 times that amount. She has a live in bf so that helps but if she was single, she should and hopefully would have a roommate. The most I ever paid in rent was $1400 (my part of a two bedroom) and I made $100k and that was NYC, not Portland Oregon so it should be possible to pay less.

I'm from Cali so I don't know about Portland, but it's common to even have roommates for studios if money really is tight (maybe look for someone to pay 500 instead of 700, could still make it work). They even have a middle barrier wall. For a college kid? You can totally get by, especially if you're okay getting your hands dirty. I work in advertising now, she's getting enough of an audience to get some income from her tiktok through sponsors, which looks like she's doing affiliated work. Got room to grow, sure, but at 22y/o? It's alright. Oh and I bet she got paid for going on this video.

      A lot of apartments will allow their tenants to paint the walls if they pay an extra fee, as when the tenant moves out - they'll have to go back to whatever the property colors are normally. Additionally, if it's not done well, that can come out of the tenant's deposit.

      Keep looking if ya got time! You can easily get a duplex for this cost and have yourself a mini yard and way less neighbors. It is possible! Houses also are rented out around $1700 in the metro area if you can foot the additional $300. I just had to move in May and got an amazing 2bd 2 bth 1100 sq ft duplex with a garage and yard for $1300 in SE Portland. It's possible, look for owners who are renting themselves. Craig's list can be sketchy, but it also has many hidden gems!! Its nuts though, my first apartment here in 2002 was a 2 bd 1 bth for $475... inflation is insane! 😳

    Credit score should not factor at all in renting.

    • @missj5564

      If your credit score is lower, one should work to improve it. Creditors look at your credit worthiness and if your score is less than the minimum or average score, they look at it as you not being responsible with paying your bills in a timely fashion. Cash is king, but credit is power. It is the American way.

Because 4 times the rent is insane. 1 person rarely make 4 (× 1200= $4,800/month) times the rent.. in this case 5grand. How many people including yourself do you know that make 5,000/month and are willing to move into a single bedroom apartment, 700 sq feet ?? I cant stand how Portland has shifted.

      @Luís Andrade, I definitely saw my fair share of boyfriends/girlfriends who bailed on their partners and left them trying to cough up 100% of the rent. But both parties are financially responsible, so both of them would be screwed if the remaining person couldn't cover rent. This would be the case even if they were married, though I suppose you'd have the legal system more on your side in that example.
