Across NJ's 11 HUD FMR areas, the FY2026 2-bedroom payment standard runs $1,673-$2,763/month (median $1,950); Bayonne Housing Authority sets its own figure within 90-110 percent of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves, so confirm the exact number for your metro before signing anything.
