apartment pet rent

I know, if you are looking to rent apartments with pets, you will face the complicated process to deal with your landlord to get permission from him. But if you have plan and smart deal with him, may be your landlord can consent to you to continue to rent his apartment. Here are some tips for tenants with animal live-ins.

1] Pick up a free apartment guide. Just about any medium to large city will have one that encompasses surrounding suburbs and includes pretty much all of the multi unit apartment complexes. If it’s not in there, chances are it’s not worth considering. You’ll want to first look for those two all-important words: “pets welcome.” Also visit web sites such as Rent.com for pet friendly apartments and search online for realtors that specialize in pet friendly properties

2] Get your pet up to date on all shots and vaccinations. Please ensure that it is licensed and is legal in the eyes of your city and state. Have a copy of this information and be ready to furnish it with your rental application.

3] Find out if there are designated areas to walk your pet, and if not, what the best places are. Also check if there is an off leash dog park nearby which might be an important thing to consider.

4] Be prepared to pay a pet deposit, as just about all apartments require one. Find out how much of it is non-refundable and make sure it is clearly stated in the lease or in a pet addendum. This will avoid confusion upon move-out.

5] Prepare a reference letter from your landlord and have him/her sign it. OR, have him or her draft his/her own letter praising your dog or cat's behavior. Have a copy of this and be ready to furnish it along with your application.
