HUD recently issued its proposed fair market rents, or FMRs, for fiscal year 2016. In general, the FMR for an area is an amount that would be needed to pay the rent and utilities of a privately owned, decent, and safe rental housing unit of a modest nature with suitable amenities. HUD is required to publish the FMRs at least annually to be effective on Oct. 1 of each year.
