Rate My Rent



Live Preview GitHub

Rate My Rent is a website that takes a user's estimated monthly salary as well as the room size and area of Tokyo that they wish to live in, and gives a rating or recommendation.

Rate My Rent was created with Python in Flask. It uses a PostgreSQL database. Front-end was created with the help of the Bulma Framework.

It was deployed on Heroku with Heroku Postgres.


Ratings are based on an assumption of 30% of a user's estimated salary being an ideal percentage to use towards rent, with deviations from that rated accordingly. Data for average rent by area and room size was sourced from Suumo.
