Dog Friendly Apartments in Dallas

Rent.com's Guide to Apartments for Rent near Dallas, PA

If you have a dog, then you will want to make sure you choose a rental property that allows residents to own pets. While not all rentals allow pets, there are plenty of dog friendly apartments in Dallas and its surrounding areas. This gives you a wide range of options for you and your canine friend.

Deposits for Dog Friendly Apartments

Some cat and dog friendly apartments require tenants with pets to pay larger deposits. The deposit helps protect the property owner from damage that may be caused by the dog living there. Messing on carpet, chewing on walls and scratching doors can cost quite a bit of money to fix, so pet owners can expect to pay a little more up front when renting.

However, you should make sure, to do a walk-through of the apartment with your property manager before you move into the space and before you move out. During the walk-through, take pictures of any existing damage so the landlord does not keep your deposit because of damage caused by a previous tenant.

Finding Dog Friendly Apartments

Some dog friendly apartments may have size limitations. They might, for instance, only allow dogs under 20 pounds. They might also restrict the number of pets that you can have. Having more dogs than your lease allows could lead to eviction.

You can start exploring dog friendly apartments in Dallas by using online apartment listings. Online directory listings also include information such as price, floor plans, and images to help you decide which apartments you like. However, to find out more about their pet ownership policy, you might want to contact the property manager. That way, you will know exactly what kinds of dogs they allow and you can focus on properties that will meet your needs.
