Nanticoke, Pennsylvania is the birthplace of the S.H. Kress stores, the chain of original "five and dime" department stores in business from 1896 to 1981. The town gets its name from Nantego, the name of the Native Americans who moved there in the 1600s.
The 10,465 people living in Nanticoke live about 8 miles southwest of Wilkes-Barre, PA. As is the case with a substantial portion of PA, over half its housing stock falls in the older/historic age range having been built prior to 1940. While this does present challenges to traditional renters, it opens up opportunities for those looking for a more unique living arrangement. Since there is a college located in the city as well as others in surrounding cities, you'll find a good range of places to rent in Nanticoke. See more
Finding an apartment in Nanticoke 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.
