How it works
Powered by data, verified by law
Free Preview
A free account gets a rough fair-rent score — no credit card. Enter your current rent to see how it compares with HUD and Census figures for your area before you pay for anything.
Market and Government Data
The free preview compares your rent with HUD Fair Market Rents and Census median rents. The full report adds nearby comparable rentals, Zillow's rent index, and Redfin market data — not just one estimate.
State Law Context
Enter a proposed rent increase and the full report checks it against your state's and city's caps and notice rules, where they exist.
Negotiation Target in the Full Report
If your rent is above market, the full report ($4.99) gives you a negotiation target range and the comparable rentals behind it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rent analysis really free?
The rough score is. A free account — no credit card — gets a fair-rent score from HUD Fair Market Rents and Census median rents, and an estimate of how much you may be overpaying if your rent is above them. The full report, with comparable rentals, rent-increase checks and a negotiation target, is $4.99 per report. It is not part of any plan, and the free lease scan a new account comes with does not cover it.
How accurate is a free rent analysis?
Honestkey's free preview compares your rent with HUD Fair Market Rents and Census median rents for your area — a quick read, not a full market study. The full report adds nearby comparable rentals, Zillow's rent index, and Redfin market data, plus confidence scoring that shows how much to rely on the result for your location. No rent estimate is exact.
What's the difference between the free preview and the full report?
The free preview shows a fairness score out of 100 and, if your rent is above the HUD and Census figures, roughly how much you may be overpaying. The full report ($4.99) adds detailed comparable properties, Zillow and Redfin market data, confidence scoring, a check of a proposed rent increase against state and local law, and a negotiation target if you're overpaying.
Can I check rent for any address?
Yes. Our tool covers addresses nationwide with address-level precision. Data density and confidence are highest in metro areas, but we provide estimates for suburban and rural areas as well.
