A limited number of rental homes are available throughout the
city of Colorado Springs. The most common length of a lease is twelve
months, but occasionally a shorter term is available. The average
size of a rental home is three bedrooms and two baths, between 1500 and 2500
square feet, and rent being $800 and up. The usual deposit for a
rental home is one full month's rent.
PET POLICIES: Most
apartment communities do not allow pets. Those communities that allow
pets may have restrictions as to the size and weight of the pet and may charge
pet rent in addition to a pet deposit. The pet deposit may be
non-refundable. Rental homes that accept pets may have size and
quantity restrictions, and will probably charge an additional pet
deposit.
