Renting with a Plan
At Rentsmallsmall, we are very invested in helping you live your best life and plan for a great future.

Having seen the immense disadvantage renters are put in with upfront payments sometimes running into millions, we crafted a solution where renters have the option to rent a home and pay as they earn.

Sadly, however, some have yet to take advantage of this opportunity and so we thought to bring it again to your mind.

Here are some tips that can help you make the best of your renting experience.

1: Evaluate your Rental Costs: 

The goal is to live within your means, in such a way that rent your monthly rent payment would not take more than  45-50% of your total income. This way you can plan for expenses and have some cash left to save and invest.
