Rome, NY: “Home of the New York State Cheese Museum.”
Ahhh, New York, home of towering skyscrapers, sophisticated urbanites, concrete jungles, and…sky-high real estate prices! Lucky for you, apartments in Rome, despite being in New York, are not as costly as other cities in that part of the country. Located in Oneida County, in the state of New York, Rome is home to more than 33,980 people, and the 31st largest community in the state. The median temperature in Rome during the summer months is 68°F, with a bone-chilling low of 22°F during winter. The really cool thing about the rental properties in Rome is the fact that they are well below the New York median, and surprisingly, below the national average, as well. The cost of living index for Rome is also quite low – 26 percent less than the New York average, and 8 percent less than the national average. For a state with cities that average up to three times the national average, this is no mean feat. But this makes it easier on your checking account as you plan your move to Rome. See more
Finding an apartment in Rome 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.
