HUD is required by law to set Fair Market Rents (FMRs) every year. In general, the FMR for an area is the amount that a tenant would need to pay the gross rent (rent plus utilities) of privately owned, decent, and safe rental housing of a modest (non-luxury) nature with suitable amenities. The published FMRs represent HUD’s best effort to estimate the 40th percentile gross rent paid by recent movers into standard quality units in each FMR area.
