When you go down in Banglin', will you tell my boys / When you go down in Banglin', tell my boys / What a good time's a-waitin' up in Illinois / Up in Illinois, up in Illinois -- From "Illinois Blues" by Skip James
Orland Hills, a village in Cook County, Illinois, sits just outside Chicago. It serves as a commuter residence for a lot of folks who work in Chicago. It has a couple of lakes -- Lake Ashbourne and Lake Lorin -- but only covers about one mile of land. It's pretty densely populated and has an urban feel, but residents still prefer that to living in downtown Chicago because it retains a little bit of that small-town charm. See more
Finding an apartment in Orland Hills 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.
