How To Find 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.

You can use online tools to simplify your search for apartments. When you view apartments on an apartment listing site, it is easy to rule out those properties that have no pet policies. This will enable you to avoid discouragements that might arise when you select a particular property and later find out that it does not allow pets. You may also search for an apartment on websites that exclusively list pet friendly apartments.

Another option is to search for properties that are managed by their owners. Negotiating with a private landlord is easier than doing the same with an apartment manager. If a property that is managed professionally has a strict no pet policy, it is hard for your companion animal to be accepted.

The size of pets also matter. If you do not have a pet and you are planning to get one, it is wise to go for a small sized breed. Some pet policies of properties shut out dogs that are above a certain weight limit. Most policies have a weight limit of between 20 and 50 pounds.

When looking for pet friendly rentals, it is also important to show the landlord that you are a good tenant. You should also show the landlord that your companion animal is not likely to cause any problems. You can do this by requesting obedience trainers, pet sitters or walkers and former landlords to provide you with letters of recommendation. You may also write a resume for your companion animal that details its size, age, certifications, breed and medical information. You may also set up an interview with the property owner so that he or she will get a feel of your pet in person.

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 pet friendly apartments also offer services such as on site training, grooming and events for pet owners. If you can afford to reside in such a property, your companion animal will feel welcome. By following these tips, you can have a great experience of living with a companion animal in a rented apartment.
