46 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The Truman Show is one claim to fame for Lynn Haven, FL -- residents remember when the Old Bailey Bridge was closed for filming, so Jim Carrey's character could make his brave escape. In fact, lots of movies are filmed in the area, thanks to the beautiful tropical scenery. And while Panama City is great for spring break, insiders know that for year-round living, you need to go 15 minutes north to Lynn Haven. You get all the benefits of the Florida Panhandle -- like gorgeous weather and easy beach access -- but you don't have to trip over tourists on your way to the grocery store. Just maybe a few movie stars. See more

Finding an apartment in Lynn Haven 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.
