Agent doesn't care. He just wants to sign the deal asap with a minimum of fuss, collect his fee from both parties, and never hear from either of you again.
His incentive is not to bump the rent by a little, he wants the deal done fast so he can concentrate on other deals.
He can't infer anything meaningful from your monthly paycheck. Maybe you have huge parental support obligations. Maybe you're a closet billionaire. He has no idea from your paycheck.
The landlord cares if you can pay, not the agent.
