The income requirement is a guideline used by landlords to determine whether you can afford the monthly rent. It helps both tenant and landlord ensure that housing costs are financially manageable.
How Does It Work?
In most cases, the rule of thumb is:
Your gross monthly income (including holiday pay) should be at least 3 to 4 times the monthly rent.
Example: For a rental property with a monthly rent of €1,200, the required gross monthly income is usually between €3,600 and €4,800.
Combined Income
If you’re renting with a partner, your incomes are typically added together. Sometimes, the second income only partially counts (e.g., 70%).
Self-Employed / Freelancers
Landlords may ask for:
Annual financial statements from the past 2–3 years
An accountant’s report or income statement from the tax authorities
Other Sources of Income
Other forms of income may be taken into account, such as:
Alimony
Pension
Student grants or allowances (limited)
Assets or savings – often assessed separately
Verification & Documentation
You’ll usually need to provide:
Recent payslips or an employer statement
Bank statements
Annual income statements or tax returns
Proof of ID / registration in the municipality (BRP extract)
Why Does It Matter?
The income requirement helps ensure you’re not renting a property beyond your financial means. Landlords are also legally obligated to rent responsibly.
