Chicago Cat Friendly Apartments

Rent.com's Guide to Apartments for Rent near Chicago, IL

Many apartment buildings in Chicago do not allow residents to keep dogs, cats, or other pets. There are, however, plenty of options for those who need to find cat friendly apartments. Using an online apartment directory can help you find an apartment that welcomes feline as well as human residents.

Deposits for Cat Friendly Apartments

As you explore your options, you will likely find that some cat friendly apartments require residents to pay an extra deductible when they plan to keep pets. Owners use these deposits to cover the costs of cleaning up after a pet. Cat urine has a particularly strong odor that is difficult for professional cleaners to get out of carpet and wood. As long as your cat does not damage the floor, walls, or other parts of the apartment, though, you should get a full refund. If your cat does cause some damage, though, you can expect to lose some or all of your deposit.

Choosing Cat Friendly Apartments

After you have found several cat friendly apartments, you will want to compare other features to help you decide which one is best for you. You can ensure that you choose affordable rental properties by narrowing your search to apartments within your price range.

You can also use the online apartment directory to learn more about floor plans and amenities. Floor plans not only show you how many bedrooms and bathrooms the apartment has, but also how large these rooms are. While the typical apartment listing might tell you how many bedrooms the property has, a floor plan gives you much more information to help you identify apartments that really meet your needs.

Amenities can include anything from assigned parking spaces to pet sitting services. By offering amenities, apartment buildings can attract residents willing to pay extra to make their lives a little easier. By learning more about these options, you could find that a certain rental offers the amenities that you need.
