creating class and class constructor exercise in python

Stumped on this exercise."Create a class named Apartment that holds an apartment number, number of bedrooms, number of baths, and rent amount. Create a constructor that accepts values for each of the data fields. Also, create a get method for each field. Write an application that creates at least five Apartment objects (The data to create the Apartment objects will come from a file). Then prompt the user to enter a minimum number of bedrooms required, a minimum number of baths required, and a maximum rent the user is willing to pay. Display data for all the Apartment objects that meet the user’s criteria or an appropriate message if no such apartments are available." Here is my bare bones attempt. Any tips or examples of a similar scenario ?

    import sys
    sys.path.append("/Users/ksmith/Desktop/Apartments")
    #random text file with apartment information in it separated by a comma
    
    import Apartments
    
    apartmentData = open('apartments.txt')
    
    apartmentLines = apartmentData.readlines()
    
    
    for line in apartmentLines:
        lineData = line.split(',')
        apt=lineData[0]
        rent=lineData[1]
        rooms=lineData[2]
        bath=lineData[3]
        
    
    bedrooms=input('Enter minimum number of bedrooms: ')
    baths=input('Enter minimum number of baths: ')
    rent=input('Enter maximum amount of rent: ')
    
    
    rent=Apartments.Apartments(rent)
    
    apartmentData.close()
    
    #below different py file with class
    
    class Apartments:
        apartNum=
        bedNum=
        bathNum=
        rent=
        
        def setRemt(self,x):
            self.x = x
        def getMovement(self):
            return self.x

hi, the following code is part of your solution, I leave you manage the prompt, and the access to file.

class Apartments:
def __init__(self, number, bedrooms, baths, rent_amount):
self.number = number
self.bedrooms = bedrooms
self.baths = baths
self.rent_amount = rent_amount

@property
def number(self):
return self.__number

@number.setter
def number(self, val):
self.__number = val

@property
def bedrooms(self):
return self.__bedrooms

@bedrooms.setter
def bedrooms(self, val):
self.__bedrooms = val

@property
def baths(self):
return self.__baths

@baths.setter
def baths(self, val):
self.__baths = val

@property
def rent_amount(self):
return self.__rent_amount

@rent_amount.setter
def rent_amount(self, val):
self.__rent_amount = val

def selection(Apps, minbed, minbath, maxrent):
for sample in Apps:
if sample.bedrooms >= minbed and sample.baths >= minbath and sample.rent_amount < maxrent:
print(sample.number,sample.bedrooms,sample.baths,sample.rent_amount)

list_of_app = [Apartments(101, 5, 2, 3000), Apartments(102, 4, 1, 2000), Apartments(103, 6, 3, 3500)]

selection(list_of_app, 6, 1, 5000)
