When comparing rents across a multiunit building, you want a consistent basis that accounts for differences in unit size. The right approach is to annualize the rent and then normalize it by the number of rooms in each unit, giving annual dollars per room. This means taking the monthly rent, converting it to yearly rent, and dividing by the unit’s rooms to compare how much revenue each room generates across properties. This per-room annual measure standardizes for different unit configurations, making cross-property comparisons meaningful.

The other concepts involve pricing the property or using rent in different formulas, but they don’t provide the standardized per-room yearly figure you need for direct rent comparison across varied units.
