Lease Renewal Advisor

Compare current rent to the same HUD 50th-scaled statistical median as the Rent Estimator (not MLS asking rent; FMR stays the 40th / voucher number). Action buckets and the recommended renewal are written as formulas on the page. not a black-box score.

How the recommendation is built

Market rent is the Rent Estimator path: HUD FY2026 50th-percentile (not FMR) scaled onto the ZIP FMR/SAFMR, aged with BLS CPI Shelter, then a property-type multiplier. a statistical median, not MLS asking rent. Out-of-sample ZIPs are flagged extrapolated. Confidence and source strings match that tool.

  • Hold if you are within about 5% of estimated market.
  • Raise modestly if you are about 5-12% under; reposition if more than 12% under.
  • Symmetric if over-market: hold or modest cut at 5-12% over; reposition down if more than 12% over.
  • Recommended rent blends toward market with a retention bias (65% of the gap when under, 50% when over). The formula is printed with the result.
  • Turnover cost is shown as an illustrative 1-2 months of current rent. an assumption, not measured local data.
