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.

One of the important things you need to do when looking for pet friendly rentals is to visit apartment listing websites. This will allow you to remove properties that do not accept pets from your list. In this way, you will avoid liking a certain property only to get disappointed later, after finding out that it does not accept pets.

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.

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.

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 properties that accept pets also offer services like grooming, events for individuals who own pets and onsite training. If you choose such a property, your pet will feel comfortable. If you follow these tips it will be easy for you to find pet friendly apartments.
