Broward County House Rental FAQs

What is the average rent for a house in Broward County?

The average rent for a house in Broward County is $3,200 per month. Two-bedroom houses average $2,500, three-bedrooms $3,200, four-bedrooms $4,200, and five-bedrooms $5,500. Waterfront and luxury properties exceed $8,000 monthly. Prices vary by city and neighborhood.

Many Broward County landlords allow pets with restrictions and additional deposits. Pet policies typically limit two pets maximum, restrict breeds (no aggressive breeds), and require $200-$500 non-refundable pet fees plus $25-$50 monthly pet rent. Properties in Weston and gated communities often have stricter pet policies.

Most Broward County landlords require minimum credit scores of 650-680 for house rentals. Scores above 700 receive priority consideration. Lower credit scores may qualify with co-signers, larger security deposits, or proof of substantial income (40x monthly rent annually).

Utilities are rarely included in Broward County house rentals. Renters pay electricity ($150-$400 monthly depending on size and air conditioning usage), water ($50-$100), trash ($20-$30), and internet ($60-$100). Some landlords cover lawn maintenance for single-family homes.

Broward County’s house rental market is moderately competitive. Well-priced properties in Victoria Park, Rio Vista, and Weston receive multiple applications within 2-3 days. Coral Springs and Pembroke Pines offer more inventory and less competition. Having complete documentation ready accelerates approvals.

Rent negotiation depends on market conditions and property age. Newer properties and competitive neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Weston Hills offer limited negotiation room. Properties listed over 30 days or requiring repairs may accept 3-5% below asking rent. Offering longer lease terms increases negotiation leverage.
