"Flowers in the ground they wilt way / Sun in the sky it fades away / Make the funniest shapes from the cloud so grey / The breeze in the trees they blow my way." -- From "Monte" by Zee Avi
Mira Monte is a census designated place in Ventura County, California. The name more or less translates into English as "Looking Mount," which is a little strange since it's located at the center of Ojai Valley, just south of the mountains. Home to just under 7,000 people (at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census), the community shares its name with Miramonte, another Californian town in Fresno County. The latter name makes a lot more sense considering it sits 3,000 feet above sea level. It makes you wonder about the kind of people who first settled here, doesn't it? See more
Finding an apartment in Mira Monte that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
