We all know how hard it is to find cheap rent in Hong Kong – you can either live in a subdivided apartment or share a \u201cnormal-sized\u201d apartment with multiple roommates to make ends meet. According to experts, you should only spend around 33% of your salary\/income on rent. If you\u2019re wondering how much rent you can afford for 1 bedroom based on your salary, here are some suggestions based on data gathered.<\/p>\n
