What is a Fair Market Rent?

HUD publishes Fair Market Rents each year for every metropolitan area and non-metropolitan county. An FMR is the 40th percentile gross rent (rent plus utilities) for standard-quality units, and it sets the payment standards for Housing Choice Vouchers and rent limits for several other programs. In many metro areas HUD also publishes Small Area FMRs by ZIP code, which housing authorities use to let voucher holders move to higher-cost neighborhoods.
