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.

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 good idea is to look for apartments managed by their owners. It is easier to negotiate with a private landlord than it is to do so with a property manager. If a professionally managed property has a no pet policy, it is not likely for you to talk your way into it.

The size of a companion animal also matters. If you do not own a companion animal yet, but you are planning to own one later, it is advisable to opt for one that is not too large. It is common for the pet policy of a building to single out dogs that exceed a certain weight limit. In most places, the weight limit falls between twenty and fifty pounds.

It is also of utmost importance that you are able to show the property owner that your pet is well mannered and will not cause any problems. This is possible by getting letters of recommendation from obedience trainers, pet walkers or sitters and former property owners. It is also advisable to draft a resume about the age, size, certifications, medical information and other details about your companion animal. You may also schedule a meeting with the potential landlords so that they can get to see the animal up close.

Some properties accept pets only on the condition that their owners make a separate security deposit up front. If a potential property owner is hesitant about accepting pets, you can consider offering to pay a pet deposit. This shows that you are confident with the behavior of your pet. The landlord will also be confident that the deposit will pay for the cost of repairing scratched floors or eliminating stains that may be caused by the pet.

Choosing a good location is also essential. Some areas are more suitable for pets than others. After finding pet friendly apartments, consider if there are parks where you can take the animal for a walk nearby. You should also consider if there are nearby boarding kennels where you can drop off your companion animal when you are away.

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.
