are you actually asking or are you being zeni? if you're actually asking then no, that's not the case. rent needs to be 30% of your income or less, it's not rent * 3 >= can rent an apartment. if you make $2000, you should be able to pull maybe an apartment for $650 but knowing the area you live in that's a non-starter. you might want to rent a room from someone instead of actually getting an apartment
