Tarrant, AL

101 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Tarrant is the kind of town Lynyrd Skynyrd spoke of in their iconic song "Sweet Home Alabama." Blue skies and quaint living are hallmarks of one of the South's most populated areas. Sweet tea flows in abundance and grits (a breakfast food similar to cream of wheat) is a staple on every table. That's not to say the area isn't modern. The region has enjoyed a boom in commerce that has sustained steady growth for decades. As a suburb of Birmingham, history was made as Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote one of his most important speeches nearby. Home to classic rock bands, a rich cultural history and unique cuisine, Tarrant provides a particular type of living experience. One the city itself describes as a close-knit feeling among the residents. See more

Finding an apartment in Tarrant 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.
