Budgeting for Pets in Denver Rentals

- Pet deposits: Typically $200–500 (often non-refundable)
- Monthly pet rent: Usually $25–75 per pet
Adding these to Denver’s median rent ($1,444), expect to pay $1,469–$1,519/month for a pet-friendly unit. Some landlords may waive fees for service animals.
Tips for Renting with Pets
- Prepare records: Have vaccination history and spay/neuter certificates ready.
- Get references: Former landlords or vets can vouch for your pet’s behavior.
- Filter listings: Use "pet-friendly" filters on no-fee platforms like NoFeeNest.
- Ask about restrictions: Some properties limit breeds, sizes, or pet numbers.
Where to Look
Most no-fee Denver rentals are apartments (1,386 listings), but rooms (391) and sublets (39) may offer more flexibility. Since landlords handle these listings directly, negotiating pet policies is often easier than with broker-managed units. Always confirm pet terms before signing.
