Assuming a conventional, conforming mortgage, the typical high ratio would be roughly 28% of gross being allowed for PITI (and PMI) and 35% for total monthly debt payments. For a jumbo loan, atypical situation or an in-house/non-conforming loan, your mileage may vary.

I'm at 14% on my rent and I feel like that is as high as I would want to go.

28% would put me in one of the nicest apartments in the city and I would feel dirt poor.
