Plano's Legacy business district hosts several large corporate headquarters, which drives demand for apartments in the western part of the city.
For Plano renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Texas. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 293,000 residents, Plano in Collin County is Texas’s ninth-largest city. Renters across Legacy, Downtown Plano, West Plano, East Plano and Willow Bend rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
