How much is rent in Palm Beach?

The median asking rent in Palm Beach is $9,000 a month across 153 active rentals in BeachesMLS. Houses and townhomes ask a median $35,000 and condos and apartments $8,000. Leases signed in the last 90 days closed at a median $5,800 for houses and townhomes and $4,500 for condos and apartments. These figures update daily on this page.

Do I pay a fee to rent a home in Palm Beach through BreakThru Realty?

In most South Florida rentals the landlord pays the agent commission, so working with a BreakThru rental agent costs a renter nothing. If a specific listing works differently, we tell you before you tour it.

What do I need to apply for a rental in Palm Beach?

Most landlords ask for a government-issued photo ID, recent pay stubs or an offer letter showing income of roughly three times the monthly rent, recent bank statements, a credit report and rental references. Having these ready before you tour lets you apply the same day.

How long does rental approval take in Palm Beach?

Landlord approval usually takes one to three business days. If the home is in a condo or HOA community, which is common in Palm Beach, the association runs its own application and approval, and that can take two to four weeks in many buildings. We start the association paperwork the moment you are accepted.

Can I rent a pet-friendly home in Palm Beach?

Yes. The pet-friendly page lists every current Palm Beach rental whose listing says pets are allowed. Most still set limits, such as breed or size restrictions, a maximum number of pets and a pet fee or deposit, and condo associations often add rules of their own, so we confirm the policy for your pet before you apply.

Are there seasonal rentals in Palm Beach?

Yes. Furnished homes and condos in Palm Beach are let by the month or the season, with the strongest demand from January through April. Seasonal rents run higher than annual leases and the best winter rentals book months ahead, so start early; the seasonal and furnished pages show what is available now.

Renting in Palm Beach

Palm Beach rentals follow the winter season. Furnished houses and apartments lease for the season or by the month to winter residents, and the best In-Town apartments near Worth Avenue and the oceanfront homes are often committed well ahead of the winter. Annual leases are a smaller part of the market, mostly condos and co-ops In-Town and along South Ocean Boulevard, subject to each board's approval. Renters do best when their references and application documents are ready before they tour.

Houses, Condos and Apartments

Rentals in Palm Beach range from studio apartments to furnished estate homes. The market table on this page splits the median rent between houses and townhomes on one side and condos and apartments on the other, because the two markets price very differently, and the pages below narrow the search by home type, monthly rent, furnishing, pets and lease length.

How Renting With BreakThru Works

Tell us your budget, move-in date and must-haves, and a licensed rental agent builds a shortlist, schedules tours and helps you apply with a complete file. In most South Florida rentals the landlord pays the agent commission, so our help costs a renter nothing.

Own a Home in Palm Beach?

Palm Beach landlords choose between a winter season lease and an annual tenant, and the town's rules on lease length and each building's leasing restrictions narrow that choice: many condo and co-op boards approve every tenant, limit how often a unit can be leased or set a minimum term. A furnished seasonal lease also means deciding what the rent includes, from utilities to cleaning. We check those rules first, then price your home from live Palm Beach rents.

Renting in Palm Beach: What to Know Before You Apply

Where renters live

Renters in Palm Beach live by the stretch of the island. In-Town, between the north bridge and Worth Avenue, holds most of the apartments: the older buildings and boutique buildings near Worth Avenue, full-service buildings such as Palm Beach Towers, and the houses and townhomes of Royal Park on streets such as Chilean Avenue, all within a walk of the beach, the shops and the Lake Trail. The South End along South Ocean Boulevard, in buildings such as Harbour House, La Palma and the Reef, is where an annual renter finds the most attainable apartment on the island. Winter residents lease houses on the North End and in the Estate Section, and Ibis Isle offers lakeside condos and houses.

Annual or seasonal

Palm Beach is a seasonal town first. Furnished houses and apartments lease for the winter or by the month from January to April, the Estate Section, the North End and the In-Town apartments near Worth Avenue are spoken for well before the season, and many are re-let to the same residents year after year without being advertised. Annual leases are the smaller market, mostly condos and co-ops In-Town and along South Ocean Boulevard, where a board approves the tenant. A year-round renter in Palm Beach does well to look in late spring, when the season ends and an owner who did not find a winter tenant is open to twelve months; a winter renter should be searching by early fall.

What to have ready

A Palm Beach application goes further than the usual South Florida file. Bring photo ID, pay stubs or an offer letter, bank statements, references from previous landlords and consent to a credit and background check, with income of at least three times the rent, and expect a condo or co-op board to ask for personal references, a photograph and sometimes an interview as well. Many owners spend the summer elsewhere, so a manager or the board reviews the file in their absence, and a complete packet moves faster. Seasonal renters in Palm Beach often lease from owners who want to know who is living in their house, so a short letter about who you are is not out of place.

Association approval

Board approval shapes nearly every apartment lease in Palm Beach. The condominiums In-Town and along South Ocean Boulevard, Palm Beach Towers, Harbour House, La Palma, Claridges, the Atriums and the Reef among them, and the co-operatives, where you lease shares rather than a unit, each approve every tenant, set a minimum term, limit how often a unit can be leased and charge an application fee, and the town's own rules on lease length sit on top of the building's. Sloan's Curve and Ibis Isle have several associations with different rules side by side. Allow several weeks in Palm Beach for a board, and more in the fall when boards meet less often. Houses on the North End and in the Estate Section have no board, so the owner alone decides.

Deposits and move-in costs

Palm Beach landlords take first month, last month and a security deposit at signing on an annual lease, and the buildings add an application fee and often a move-in deposit for the elevator and the common areas, which in a full-service building can be substantial. Seasonal houses and apartments are usually paid in full before arrival, with a separate damage deposit and a clear statement of what the rent includes, from utilities and internet to weekly cleaning. Pet deposits apply where a board allows pets at all. A Palm Beach landlord holding a deposit owes you a written notice within thirty days of how it is held and its return within fifteen days of move-out when no claim is made.
