i am just curious to how much people pay for rent in their location

i am currently paying round $175 a month for a one bedroom apartment, but people keep telling me that is surprisingly expensive compared to what they pay

$175 a month is expensive? My last apartment was $1,000 a month not including utilities, cable, etc.

EDIT: That was for a 2 bedroom apartment come to think of it. If I remember correctly the 1 bedroom apartments were running about $800.00 a month.

Its about ￡500 a month for a decent 1 bedroom flat in my area, Cardiff. Apparently its about ￡1300 per month for a 1 bedroom flat in central London now.

There's a huge range here depending on what kind of size, quality, amenities, location, etc. you're looking for. I've never actually rented here...I've lived in/owned the same 2-bedroom condo since 2001. I'm moving to a house in 2 weeks, though.

Where is this wonderful place where rent is $175/month for a 1-bedroom apartment?

$635 for a decent mid-sized apartment all to myself, utilities included, in St. Louis. I only have to spring for my own laundry, AC, and internet.

Atlantic Canada, but i get a rent subsidy

$175/month is expensive? Then what's cheap rent? I'm paying $1200 for a 2 bedroom and plan on moving to a $900 1 bedroom soon which is among the cheapest in the area. Only water is included as far as utilities go.

I'm lucky in owning my run-down dump of a shack outright and have not had to worry over rent in a good many years. Still, $175 seems amazingly inexpensive to me. I paid decently more that than for a one-bedroom apartment in Southern California (Moreno Valley) back in the mid/late eighties and very early nineties. Admittedly that complex was a bit posh with two swimming pools, a weight room, tennis court, and other amenities, but still . . .

As others have said, rent can vary substantially depending on a number of variants.

All inclusive 1-bedroom runs me 850$. But it has a balcony and is right beside a plaza with just about every store I need.

175 a month would be a [censored] dream come true, man. Imagining the amount of money I could save gives me a mental boner.

I pay 845 bucks for a small one bedroom in Brooklyn.

$175?!

OMG!?

I pay $1,250.00/month for a two bedroom duplex in a not so nice neighborhood! Must be because of my zip code. I think I saw a Forbes article a couple years ago ranking Orlando amongst the most expensive top 3 cities in the nation to rent and buy homes from.

Thats how much a mortgage is for a 4 bedroom 2135 ft² house here.

Yes! Yes! Literally YES! $175.00/month?! What a dream come true. My $1,250.00/mo. doesn't include utilities, cable/internet, etc either. Holy cow!

My Dad pays $630.00 a month for our trailer and I pay for cable and electric. Luckily my Electric bill is $129.00 but my Cable bill (with phone and internet) is about over $250.00.

A trailer can be different though. If you own the trailer the lot rent is only about $300.00 - $400.00 /month which includes water utility. If the trailer is rented $630.00/month sounds like a decent rent considering the landlord's cost of lot rent.

Two bedroom- $925. You couldn't rent a doghouse here for $175. Maybe a cardboard box but no way are you getting an overpass (underpass? I get them confused) to stick it under without forking out some more cash.

I don't mind living in a trailer but I wish the location we live in was better and owned by the county and not a privet neighborhood which has it's own problems:

1: Our landlord borderlines being a slumlord.

2: Due to the neighborhood being a privet residence the roads don't get treated by the city and the home owners around here have to maintain the roads and they do a mediocre work on it.

3: Also due to the neighborhood being a privet the Police or County Sheriff don't respond to trespassers and other problems and it's getting really bad out here (I live out in the county btw).

4: With my Landlord issues my trailer is falling apart and rotting and they won't do anything about it, May Dad and I have to patch the problem areas ourselves.

In total the trailer I'm living in is not worth it and my Dad and I are trying to save up so we can move but it just feels like sometimes we're being forced to stay in this house.

1150$ for a 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a little town in the Northern part.

In Montreal it would be over 2000$

I understand slumlords. I kind of think mine is one too. The landlord of the business I work for owns the shopping center, warehouse, and property but barely takes care of it. the business is on a 75 year old septic system and has to be pumped every 9 weeks even with only 6 employees and a few customers using the commode. The landlord, though presented with the option and encouraged as well to hook up to the sewer lines, has declined every time. The cost of pumping the septic runs in the $500+ range. The cost of hooking up to the city sewers is about $10,000.00 with the city offering to cover the costs of half of it. He still hasn't done it. Oh, also, the roofs leak in heavy rains and his roof repair guys can't even get it right (nor look like licensed professionals either).
