It appears you’re looking for a place in Evanston. Need a little extra info? Trouble making up your mind? Well, that’s what we’re here for. First, a little background. Evanston is one of the largest and most well-known suburbs of Chicago. Actually, the town’s name comes from John Evans. The city has strong ties to Chicago, as it shares its southern border with the windy city, and is easily accessible by Chicago public transit.
View Evanston City GuideFinding an apartment in Evanston 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.
