Cities
Atascadero is the result of a century of organic community evolution that was the brainchild of E.G. Lewis. This community is surrounded by wineries, vineyards and historic buildings.
Atascadero is a small city with a population of roughly 28,000. The name of the city itself is loosely translated as 'bog' and that pretty much covers this area, but in a good way. Atascadero is home to a vibrant community of art and wine lovers that take great pride in their community and all that is has to offer. Life is more relaxed here than in many other communities. It's a place to live where you work and work where you live--how many other cities can say that? See more
Finding an apartment in Atascadero 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.
