Overview
Rent pricing is a market question with a deadline. Price too high and you pay in vacancy days; price too low and you pay for the whole lease term.

Rent is set by what is available right now at that size in that area. Last year's rent and the mortgage payment are inputs to your decision to own, not to the market's willingness to pay.
Days on market is the correction signal. Two weeks with tours and no applications is a pricing answer; so is a flood of unqualified inquiries in three days.
1. Pull three to five comps within a mile at the same bed/bath count. 2. Adjust for condition, parking, laundry, and pet policy. 3. Check days-on-market for the comps — long listings mean the asking price is above market. 4. Set a floor you will not go below and a target you list at. 5. Reprice after 10 days with no qualified inquiries.
