I meant for the company. It's not needed to involve the company's money in this case.

As a side note, how big are those appartments in San Francisco? Here in Paris for that kind of money each month you get 60 square meters and no single person can afford those. Most live in a third or a half of this surface.

An apartment at that cost in SF could be anywhere from 45-60 square meters. Here is a typical listing:

That's very interesting, thanks for showing a typical example. They state they require verifiable 3.5 x income to rent ratio. This means you must make at least $2395 x 3.5 x 12 = $100,590 in order to be allowed to rent this dinky old 1 bedroom that appears to have been constructed on the roof of a parking garage.
