Take the report with a grain of salt. It appears to be sourced by an investment firm with an interest in selling real estate securities. There are no details given about how their sample of 10,000 renters was created; the data also seems self reported by the renters, so I would have accuracy concerns.

The figure seems dubious given most landlords would balk at extending a lease to a tenant who's major share of income would be going to rent (high credit risk).

As opposed to media organizations with an interest in selling capturing and selling reader attention. The implication that unbiased reporting exists is ridiculous; this isn't critical thinking.

There's a jump required to get from the parents comment to yours.

Readers should still take the source with a grain of salt, like most sources. It helps to consider what biases the article/report/whatever is likely to have.
