Tips for Renting with Pets
- Always call first — policies and fees change, and “breed restrictions may apply” usually means there is a specific list. Ask for it before you apply.
- Get it in writing. Make sure your pet is on the lease or a signed pet addendum.
- Fees vs. deposits: a pet fee is usually non-refundable; a pet deposit may be refundable; pet rent is monthly. Ask which yours is.
- Service & emotional-support animals are not pets under the Fair Housing Act — no pet fees or pet restrictions may be applied to them, even at “no pets” properties.
- Searching for houses? Individual rental homes turn over quickly — use the “pet friendly” filters on Zillow, Apartments.com, and HotPads for current listings in all three towns.
Common Questions
Which apartments in Florence, SC allow large dogs?
Patriot Place Apartments lists no weight limit. Several Florence communities allow dogs up to 75 lbs, including Woodlake Apartments, Brittany Place, Somersett Acres, Deerfield Run Apartments, and Four Oaks Apartments. Always call the property to confirm current policy.
How much are pet fees at apartments in the Pee Dee region?
Most one-time pet fees in Hartsville, Darlington, and Florence run $200–$400 per pet, and some communities add monthly pet rent of $20–$25 per pet. A pet fee is usually non-refundable, while a pet deposit may be refundable — ask which yours is.
Can a landlord charge pet fees for a service animal or emotional-support animal?
No. Service animals and documented emotional-support animals are not pets under the Fair Housing Act. Housing providers may not charge pet fees or apply pet restrictions to them, even at properties with a no-pets policy.
