The Rent Limits API answers one question for any US ZIP code: how much rent will the government pay, or allow, for this apartment?
What it returns
- Free plan: HUD Fair Market Rents and Small Area Fair Market Rents, FY2027 and FY2026, with effective dates and source links.
- Paid plans: tax-credit (LIHTC) rent and income limits, HUD's Section 8 income limits, and local housing agencies' payment standards where we have collected them.
Every answer carries the effective date and a link to the official source file.
For developers
Example: GET /v1/federal?zip=06604&bedrooms=2. The OpenAPI description is at /rent-limits/openapi.yaml.
