Do I pay a fee to rent a home in Plantation 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 Plantation?

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 Plantation?

Landlord approval usually takes one to three business days. If the home is in a condo or HOA community, which is common in Plantation, 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 Plantation?

Yes. The pet-friendly page lists every current Plantation 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.

Renting in Plantation

Plantation is a central, established rental market. Townhomes, villas and condos around Jacaranda and Plantation Midtown lease to professionals working at the nearby hospitals, offices and Westfield Broward, and single-family houses on mature, tree-lined streets draw families who want central Broward and a short drive to Fort Lauderdale.

Houses, Condos and Apartments

Rentals in Plantation 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 Plantation?

Plantation leases mostly to year-round families and professionals rather than seasonal renters. We price your home from live Plantation rents and screen for tenants who will look after it.

Renting in Plantation: What to Know Before You Apply

Where renters live

Renters in Plantation split across the city's three markets. Professionals at the hospital, the Plantation Midtown offices and Westfield Broward lease townhomes, villas and condos in Central Park, Plantation Gardens and the dozens of Jacaranda parcels in the west, where a first apartment and a move-up townhome can sit on the same street grid. Families wanting a yard and mature trees look to the original eastern streets around Plantation Park, which also give the shortest commute into downtown Fort Lauderdale, and to the single-family homes around the Jacaranda golf courses. Tenants who need land for a workshop, an RV or horses look to Plantation Acres on the western edge, where houses lease on half an acre to well over an acre. Renters over 55 have Lauderdale West, whose villas lease under the community's age rules.

Annual or seasonal

Plantation leases almost entirely on annual terms. The city is inland and built around offices, the hospital and commuters, so the winter visitor who fills the coastal condos does not come to Plantation, and furnished seasonal offers are few enough that this site does not build a seasonal page for the city. Demand instead follows the school calendar and the corporate calendar: families try to be settled before the school year starts in August, and relocations to the hospital and the office parks arrive throughout the year. That makes late spring and early summer the busiest time to be looking for a house in Plantation, and the late fall the time when a landlord is more open to a discount or a flexible start date.

What to have ready

Landlords in Plantation want a complete file: photo ID, the last two or three pay stubs or an offer letter for a new job at the hospital or the office parks, recent bank statements, a credit report and a reference from your current landlord. Income of about three times the rent is the usual test, and a relocating tenant without local history should bring the employer's letter and, where possible, offer a larger deposit rather than expect a landlord to waive the check. Applications in Plantation are reviewed by the owner or a management company, and in Jacaranda, Plantation Gardens and the gated communities the association reviews the same file again, so keep a second copy ready. Very little is newly built here, so owners of established houses often ask about your plans for the yard and the pool.

Association approval

Whether an association approves you in Plantation depends on which section you rent in. The condo and villa parcels in Jacaranda, Plantation Gardens and Central Park each have their own association with its own application, fee and review time, and Lauderdale West adds an age qualification because the community is for residents over 55. Hawks Landing and the other gated communities in west Plantation review tenants for the gate as well, and several set a twelve-month minimum. The original eastern streets around Plantation Park and most of Plantation Acres have no association, so the owner's approval is the only one. Plan on an extra two to four weeks anywhere an association is involved, and ask up front whether the board interviews tenants in person.

Deposits and move-in costs

Move-in money in Plantation follows the South Florida pattern of first month, last month and a security deposit, and a landlord who has waited for a strong applicant will sometimes accept a smaller deposit from a tenant with clean references. Condo and villa communities in Jacaranda and Plantation Gardens add an association application fee and, in some, a move-in or gate fee. A pool home or a house in the Acres with a workshop or paddock may carry a larger deposit to cover the grounds. Florida requires the landlord to notify you in writing, within 30 days of receiving it, where and how your deposit is held, and to return it within 15 days of move-out when there is no claim. Do a written and photographed walk-through with the owner on day one in Plantation.
