Brooksville, FL

114 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Brooksville, once known as the "Home of the Tangerine," thanks to its history as a major center of citrus farming, is a city close to the west coast of Florida. It's quite a long way out of Tampa, so don't plan on doing any commuting unless you enjoy spending up to an hour driving each way. You will soon forget about the attractions of the big city when you see the beautiful natural scenery that surrounds Brooksville. Just a short drive from the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, Brooksville is a great place to base yourself if you enjoy being surrounded by gently rolling hills (who doesn't?). Even within the city limits, there are three parks offering sports facilities, walking trails and a nine-hole golf course, as well as plenty of places to kick back and relax with a big picnic hamper and a selection of your favorite people.

Finding an apartment in Brooksville 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.
