In suburban areas, Florida rentals are extremely pet-friendly. The state’s warm climate and outdoor lifestyle accommodate renters with dogs, cats, and even horses in areas like Davie, Sarasota, and Lake Worth. Many urban South Florida apartments also accommodate pets, but they generally enforce more rules, fees, and restrictions. Before applying to pet-friendly apartments, Florida renters should inquire about any weight or breed restrictions. If you plan to take your dog to a nearby beach, be sure to verify the specific rules, because many Florida beaches don’t allow pets.

Florida is one of the most popular retirement destinations in the country, with a large supply of age-restricted and senior-specific housing.

Plan to apply early, especially for income-restricted affordable apartments in Florida. Don’t forget to ask the property manager about their hurricane preparedness plans, as storm evacuations are common during the rainy season.
