Obviously, everyone just prefers to give their landlord 2/3 of their after tax salary. /s

Ooh, I feel like rent payments should be pretax or tax deductible and it would help a ton of people out.

Rents will go up by whatever amount the average renter's budget increases and that lost tax revenue goes straight into the pockets of landlords.
