Compared to dense urban states, Montana has a strong inventory of pet-friendly properties. Most Montana rentals are single-family homes in suburban or rural communities with landlords who are flexible about pets. Homes with green space and yards usually have the highest pet acceptance rates, while condos and high-rises are less lenient. When looking at pet-friendly apartments, Montana renters should ask the property manager for their specific policies and apply early to get ahead of the competition — especially in western markets.

Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls tend to have the most senior housing. Montana has a variety of 55+ apartments, independent living communities, and income-restricted options. Although there’s a strong supply of senior housing, waitlists are common, and competition tends to be high. Smaller cities sometimes have lower monthly costs, but be sure to inquire about winter emergency services, snow removal, and property maintenance responsibilities.

To accommodate the remote workforce, ski tourism, university demand, and traveling healthcare employees, Montana has many short-term and furnished rentals. Whitefish, Kalispell, and Big Sky typically have the most inventory of furnished units with month-to-month lease options. Be sure to use Rentler’s ‘furnished amenities’ filter to find rentals that are ready to go. Montana renters can also use the ‘lease length’ filter to quickly spot seasonal and flexible apartments, homes, and Montana townhouse rentals.

Luxury Montana rentals are a fast-growing market as more renters seek newly constructed properties with mountain and river views, high-end appliances, fitness centers, and access to trails or skiing. Red Lodge, Helena, and resort markets near Yellowstone are popular areas for high-end Montana rentals. When searching for listings on Rentler, turn on the ‘year built’ filter, and then sort the results by highest price first. It’s one of the best ways to find upscale properties in the Treasure State.
