Profile means anything that can tell the landlord if you're a trusted party that won't default on them: your income, your credit score, your perceived "safety", your language skills, but also if you own a pet, how long you've been together your partner (if any), etc. It's hard to impossible to evict someone, so they're trying to be extra sure you're a "safe bet".

Well, that's a Figma mockup - anyway, the data is realistic. You have to consider two things: 1. it's not about money (due to rent control), it's all about lack of supply, 2. the salaries are lower than other places - eg. for devs it's extremely hard to go over 70-80k/y
