New Jersey Fair Market Rents (FY2027)
New Jersey fair market rents for FY2027: 2-bedroom FMRs range from $1,704 to $2,792 across 11 HUD FMR areas. Find your area.
FMRs are HUD's estimate of 40th-percentile gross rent (shelter rent plus utilities) for recent movers in standard units.
An FMR is not a voucher amount. Each housing authority sets its own payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR; HUD rules also allow exception amounts above 110% in some cases. Where HUD requires Small Area FMRs, or a housing authority has chosen to use them, payment standards are based on ZIP code rents, not the area-wide FMR shown here. Ask your housing authority for its payment standard.
