Tips For Finding Pet Friendly Apartment Rentals Palm Springs

By Pamela Morris


For most people, renting an apartment is the most cost effective housing options available. Due to the increased demand for rental space and the increasing rent, finding an affordable and decent apartment can be challenging, especially if you have a pet such as a rabbit, cat, dog, bird or reptile. In order to find pet friendly apartment rentals Palm Springs residents should take the following steps.

One of the things you can do to find a pet friendly apartment is to use online tools to narrow down your search. Apartment listing websites will enable you to weed out the properties that do not explicitly accept pets. This way, you will not like a particular property only to find out later that your companion animal is not welcome. Some websites also list pet friendly rentals exclusively.

It is also good that you find an apartment that is managed by its owner. This is a good idea because you can negotiate with him or her to allow you to move with your companion animal. If a property is professionally managed does not allow pets, it can be difficult for you to talk the manager into letting you keep your pet.

It also matters how big your pet is. If you are looking to get one on a later date, you should consider getting one that is small in size. Most pet policies prefer dogs that do not exceed a given amount of weight, usually between 20 and 50 pounds.

Proving to the landlord that you are not a bad tenant can also increase your chances of finding a pet friendly apartment. You should also prove that your companion animal is not likely to cause trouble. You can achieve this by requesting pet walkers or sitters, your former landlords and obedience trainers to give you recommendation letters. You can also create a resume of your companion animal that stipulates its age, size, breed, medical information and certifications. It is also important to schedule an interview with the owner of the property to give him or her a chance to see your companion animal and gauge its behavior.

Some pet friendly apartments require prospective tenants to put up a deposit beforehand if they are going to move in with a pet. Some property owners can be quite hesitant about allowing you to move in with your pet, but you can offer a deposit for the pet. This is a sign that you are confident about how your companion animal behaves. Any problems that might arise due to the pet such as scratched floors or stained areas will be covered by the deposit.

It is also important to select a location, which is suitable for your companion animal. When you find a pet friendly rental, you should consider if there are parks nearby for the pet to stroll and play. Also find out whether there are boarding kennels nearby where you can leave your pet when you need to travel for several days.

Some of the apartments that are pet friendly also offer grooming and training services for pets. They also offer events for companion animal owners. Your pet will feel awesome when you live in such an apartment. These tips will enable you to find the apartment that will bring you and your pet great comfort and happiness.
