I would not in your situation. That’s essentially your entire base salary. What if you get laid off?

What if they cut hours? What if you dont meet your commission every month?

I 100% would not rent this spot.

Very few people can afford their housing for long if they get laid off. It looks like their base is only half of their total income. And they have 4 months' rent in the bank, and could easily keep adding to that emergency fund while renting.

Not sure how much one could save with over half of the income including commission going to rent. Also the 4 months savings is RENT ONLY essentially. What about food? Utilities? Transportation? Etc. I think half of anyone’s income on rent is crazy especially when that’s counting commission income. But I don’t know the industry so maybe it’s more stable then I think.

If that 2500 minimum net commissions isn't reliable, then that's more risky. I'm taking OP at their word that it ranges between 2500 and 5K/month in commissions and they can more or less count on at least the minimum.
