How we check rent

Typical = the median of rentals asking right now with the same bedroom count in the same ZIP (our monthly comps). When there are too few comps we use HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rent scaled by 0.82, the ratio Indianapolis landlords actually ask versus HUD. Orientation only, not a guarantee of any rent.
