4 must-lease Dallas luxury apartments that accept Rhino in 2022

Relocating to Dallas in search of blue skies, classic barbeque, and a bigger apartment? Turns out, you’re not the only one: the rental market is flooded by renters returning to Dallas after the pandemic, and the median price of renting in Dallas-Fort Worth has increased 7.2% since March 2020. 

With higher rent, comes bigger security deposits, making it more expensive to move into an apartment, even before you have to pay rent! By using security deposit insurance or security deposit alternatives when you move, you can skip paying the cash security deposit altogether.  

Wait.. what’s security deposit insurance? 

Sure, you could give your landlord a security deposit equal to one month’s rent (or more), or, you could use Rhino instead, and keep your cash where it belongs... in your hands. You can buy a non-refundable policy that on average only costs a small monthly fee as little as $4 per month* versus forking over thousands of dollars upfront. 

Landlords who offer security deposit insurance through Rhino don’t ask for a cash deposit, but instead use insurance to protect their property from unpaid rent and property damage, just like a traditional security deposit. 

Where can I find a deposit-free apartment that accepts Rhino? 

To get Rhino, all you need to do is find an apartment that accepts Rhino. Lucky for you, the five luxury apartment buildings below do accept Rhino, which means you could save on an apartment with incredible amenities in the heart of downtown Dallas.
