The waterline

Every rent is measured against what its building really charges.

We call that reference the waterline. A rent below it is a good deal, which is normal in subleasing. A rent implausibly far below it gets flagged as scam bait before you send anyone money.

the waterline · market rent$845/mo · this listing

An example: a room in a building whose waterline sits at $1,020.
