Rantoul owes its life to trains. The Illinois Central Railroad laid the town out in 1854, naming it after one of its bigwigs. Then the U.S. Army chose the town for the site of Chanute Field because it was near the railroad. After World War II, the field became Chanute Air Force Base, which eventually closed in 1993.
All those airplanes form one of the perks of living in this village, because they produced a flight museum and a public-use airport. Another perk is a commitment to your livelihood. The village boasts a business incubator for local entrepreneurs. You can also learn about working at local educational institutions, or find a job with major companies. And when you're not working, don't forget the fun with parks, golf courses, and an aquatic facility. See more
Finding an apartment in Rantoul 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.
