I think the answer is "whatever the market will bear," or something similar.
Just look in the classified ads in the papers or ask property managers what
rents you can expect to get in your city for comparable properties. Of
course, if you want to give these tenants a break because they are students
or friends, that is another question, and once you have found out the above,
you could always reduce it $100/month or so depending on your generosity.
But also do some planning as to what the rents will be after these tenants
have moved out, and what you will be able to sell the building for
eventually.
