East Riverside and Mueller carry the most no-fee inventory. Look for units that include a reserved garage spot — in the close-in blocks, paid street parking is the hidden cost.

- Weight limits and pet rent shown up front
- Availability re-checked with leasing offices
Illustrative demo listing. Rents shown are examples and vary by unit, term and season.
Where we index
Six metros, rent-from ranges you can plan around
Each figure below is a typical starting point for a one bedroom we have seen listed recently — an example, not a quote. Real pricing moves with the floor plan, the lease term, concessions and the season.

RiNo and Baker lease fastest in spring. Heat is often included in older Capitol Hill conversions — worth 40 to 90 dollars a month in January, though it varies by building.

NoDa and Plaza Midwood keep the best walk scores; South End trades a higher rent for a shorter light-rail commute. Both have deep pet-friendly inventory.

Ask what the summer electric bill actually ran last August. Buildings on the newer side of Roosevelt Row and Arcadia tend to be far better sealed than 1990s stock.
No broker feeNashvilleTennessee
from$1,4651 bedroom
The Nations and East Nashville hold the friendliest pet rules in the metro. Watch for buildings that charge a separate valet-trash fee on top of base rent.

Seminole Heights and Channelside move quickly between January and April. Confirm whether water, sewer and trash are billed back — that spread is real money here.
Prices are illustrative and market-dependent. UrbanLeaf does not set rent, guarantee availability, or promise a lease approval, a price or a timeline.
Filters that mean something
Search the way you actually live
Every filter maps to something the property published, not to a marketing adjective. If a building has not disclosed a policy, we show it as unlisted rather than guessing.

How it works
From filter to signed lease, down one street
Four stops between “we need to move” and keys in your hand. Scroll — the yard sign follows the block.
Set your metro and must-haves
Pick a city, a rent ceiling, a move-in window, and the filters that actually matter to you — pet weight limit, in-unit laundry, parking, fiber.
We scan verified inventory
Our team re-checks open units with leasing offices on a rolling basis, so the list you see is not last month's availability with fresh dates on it.
Alerts hit your inbox
When a unit matching your filters opens up, you get an email with the floor plan, the real pet policy, and every fee the property has disclosed.
Tour and apply direct
You schedule with the property and apply with the property. No broker sits in the middle, and UrbanLeaf never charges you a placement fee.

The reward
What lands in your inbox
Most renters budget for first month and a deposit, then get blindsided by the rest. The guide lays out the whole stack so you can see the real number before you fall in love with a floor plan.
The full move-in cost worksheet
Application fee, admin fee, security deposit or deposit alternative, pet deposit plus pet rent, first month, renters insurance, utility setup, and the truck. Illustrative ranges by metro, so you can budget the whole stack before you tour.
Twelve questions for the leasing agent
Which utilities are billed back? Is there a valet-trash or amenity fee? What is the actual notice period for renewal? Printed as a checklist you can carry on a tour.
A pet-policy decoder
How weight limits, breed restrictions, pet rent and one-time pet fees usually stack — and the paperwork worth asking about before you fall for the floor plan.
Ongoing apartment alerts
New matching units in your metro, sent as they are confirmed. Typically a handful a week in a busy market. One click unsubscribes, always.
Educational only. Cost ranges are typical examples and vary by property, metro and credit profile. Nothing here is legal, lending or brokerage advice.
Renter feedback
What people say after they move in
I had a 62-pound shepherd mix and a four-week deadline. The pet filter here was the only one that told me the weight limit before I drove across Austin. Signed on a no-fee one bedroom in East Riverside.
Two apartments I toured elsewhere looked nothing like the listing photos. The units I found through UrbanLeaf actually matched, and the move-in cost sheet caught an admin fee I would have missed.
Tampa moves fast in February. An alert landed at 8:40 in the morning, I toured at noon, and I had my application in that afternoon. I never paid a broker a dime.
Testimonials, the 4.8/5 rating and the renter count are illustrative examples written for this demo listing. They do not describe real customers or a real survey, and no outcome, timeline or price is implied. Individual experiences vary.
Real photos
The unit in the listing is the unit you tour
Staged model-unit photography is the oldest trick in apartment marketing. We ask properties for date-stamped images of the actual floor plan, and we flag listings where only renderings are available so you know before you drive out.
- Date-stamped unit photos where the property provides them
- Floor plan and square footage listed with the unit
- Renderings labeled as renderings, every time
Straight answers
Questions renters ask us first
No. UrbanLeaf is not a brokerage and does not collect a placement or finder's fee from renters. Every unit in our index is either marked no-fee by the property or has any fee paid by the property itself. If a listing ever carries a renter-paid fee, it is labeled on the listing before you contact anyone.
