Rincon, GA

55 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Rincon is found in the southeastern part of Effingham County, about 30 miles from the Georgia coast. It's a pretty young town, all things considered -- with just over 8,800 residents, at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. The town was not incorporated until 1927, when the railroad was laid through the area. The name Rincon is Spanish for "corner," and it's believed that the town was named for a Mexican village by the same name, or due to the fact that the railroad within town had a bend in its path. Rincon is unique in its layout: the incorporated city limits of the area form a circle that's two-and-a-half miles in diameter, resulting in a population density of about 650 people per mile. It's not overcrowded, but the folks are friendly, and there's plenty to do. Rincon embodies the feel of small-town Georgia, but remains close enough to bigger cities that the residents can find whatever they need. See more

Finding an apartment in Rincon 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.
