Finding Pet-friendly Housing
It's not just about you—your new apartment has to be right for your
furry pal too. That's why RENTNET®
is proud to join forces with The Humane Society
of the United States to suggest a few tips for finding that purr-fectly
grrreat place.
For a complete guide, review 13
Steps to Finding Pet-friendly Rental Housing on the helpful site, rentwithpets.org.
Plan your timing. Bringing along a pet involves extra considerations.
Finding pet-friendly housing will probably take some extra time—plan
for six months at the outside!
No Pets means it. If an apartment community has a no-pets policy,
there's a reason for it. Why bother arguing? Concentrate on places that
welcome pets.
Go in well-armed. Get references, veterinarian records, even a pet
resume—it shows you're diligent and trustworthy.
Tell the truth. Don't try to sneak Spot in. It's trouble for you,
trouble for Spot, may even be illegal. Who needs it?
Get it on paper. A verbal okay is not always okay. If a landlord
agrees to forego a no-pets clause, get it in writing.
