Aiea, HI

82 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Aiea is a census-designated place, or CDP, within the county and city of Honolulu, in Hawaii. It's a tiny little place, boasting an area of 1.8 square miles, and yet the populace is well packed in, somewhat akin to sardines, and is over 9,000 inhabitants strong. Hawaii Route 90, which is otherwise known as Kamehameha Highway, divides much of Aiea from the shoreline of Pearl Harbor. For most folks who chose to reside in Hawaii, they do so for the sun, the sea, and the sand. And there's certainly no shortage of any of the three in Aiea. It's a busy place all year round, with a thriving nightlife to boot, but come the summer months when the throngs of holidaymakers arrive from the mainland, you'll be hard-pressed to find a spot on the local beach or a stool at the neighborhood bar.

Finding an apartment in Aiea 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.
