Richmond Hill, GA

97 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Richmond Hill covers a wide expanse of over 14 square miles and has a population of 9,281 as of the 2010 census. Along the east of the city winds the Ogeechee River, with an area of flat savannah on the opposite edge. The town is also known to be a militia town, with nearly 10% of the workforce employed by the armed forces. This gives it a distinctly military feel, while most who aren't in the armed forces work for small local businesses numbering 20 employees or less. There's a good mix of owner- and renter-occupied housing in the city, with three-bedroom houses being the most prolific type of available rental houses. However, more than 20% of the market is also taken up by apartment buildings, so rental apartments are still common. However, places with no bedrooms are rare, so don't expect to find too many studio apartments for rent in Richmond Hill. See more

Finding an apartment in Richmond Hill 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.
