Most Hallandale rentals are individually owned condo units rather than big managed complexes. That matters for you: each unit has its own landlord, its own rules, and often a condo association that also has to approve you. A few rental buildings are run by one management company, and there are some townhomes, duplexes and single-family homes, mostly west of US-1.
Where the rentals are
- South Ocean Drive (A1A), east of the Intracoastal. High-rise condo towers on or across from the beach. Expect a front desk, pools, gyms and garage or valet parking, plus association approval in most buildings.
- Golden Isles and Three Islands. Mid- and high-rise condos and townhomes between the Intracoastal and US-1, many on lakes or canals.
- US-1 and Hallandale Beach Boulevard. Newer rental buildings and older mid-rise condos near shops, Gulfstream Park and bus routes.
- West of Dixie Highway. Low-rise buildings, duplexes and houses, often with simpler approval and fewer shared amenities.
The city is small, so it is common to widen the search to Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Aventura, Dania Beach, West Park and Pembroke Park. The Hallandale Beach rentals page lists every live unit with prices by size.
A 7-day plan to get approved
- Day 1: set your numbers. Pick a top rent and a move-in date. Many landlords look for monthly income around 2.5 to 3 times the rent, but each one sets its own rule, so treat that as a starting point, not a law.
- Day 1: gather documents. Photo ID, the last 2 to 3 pay stubs or bank statements, and your current landlord's contact info. Use our rental documents checklist.
- Days 2 to 3: tour. Book showings back to back. Condo units are shown by the listing agent, so an agent on your side saves you a dozen phone calls.
- Day 3: ask the four questions before you apply: Is association approval required, how long does it take, what are all the fees, and what is the pet policy?
- Day 4: apply the same day you find the right unit. Good units at fair prices do not wait.
- Days 4 to 7: association application. Submit it complete. Missing pages are the most common delay.
- Before keys: sign the lease and pay move-in funds only to the landlord, the broker's escrow account or the closing attorney named in the lease.
What it costs to move in
Plan for the first month, often the last month, and a security deposit, plus application and association fees. At the median asking rent shown above ($2,300), first, last and a one-month deposit would come to $6,900 before fees. See move-in costs explained for every line item.
Why use an agent to rent?
When you rent through RentedFirst you pay no renter fee; the listing side pays the commission. Zach sees every MLS rental, not only the ones advertised on rental apps, and can tell you a building's approval process before you spend an application fee.
Fair housing: every listing is open to everyone. We describe buildings, prices and processes, never who lives where.
Questions to ask on every showing
Bring the same short list to every unit so you can compare them fairly afterward: What is included in the rent (water, cable, internet, parking)? How old is the air conditioning? Are the windows impact-rated, or are there shutters, and who puts them up? Where are the laundry machines? Is there a second parking space, and what does it cost? What is the move-in total? Write the answers down before you leave the building; after four showings they blur together.
