Abstract: The research problem addressed concerns regarding the possibility of studying the true rentability of housing. Previous research most often simplifies this phenomenon to availability or affordability. This makes the results reveal only a part of reality that remains covered for the economic, cognitive process. The goal was therefore to create an indicator that would reveal the actual ability to rent housing. The proposed method does not reject the existing knowledge in this area. Based on defining rentability, it remains anchored in the aspect of availability and affordability. What is novel, however, is the approach to the study of housing tenancy capacity, which is to view the phenomenon. We can venture to say that the results of the study confirmed the thesis. The availability of housing and its affordability are not always factors in renting. The most important conclusion may be that the possibility of renting housing is the ability to carry out a rental transaction that will ensure habitation that coincides with human needs, anchored by supply availability and affordability, determined by a broad stream of institutional factors.
