Justice, IL

116 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

You would think the name of this village had clear origins, but no one really knows how Justice got its name. Home to 12,926 people, Justice is only 14 miles from the Chicago Loop. While the presence of the Windy City plays a role in the daily life of Justice residents, the village's attraction comes in its seamless mixture of contradictory attributes: the traditional with the modern, the grand metropolis alongside a village, and nature beside concrete. All those marvelous combinations of contradictions mean you can forgive the village for not understanding where its name came from. See more

Finding an apartment in Justice 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.
