Cedar Lake, IN

37 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

With a population of about 11,560, Cedar Lake is considered a medium-sized town. It spans a little over nine square miles with over one mile of that in the form of water. People here do pretty much what anyone does in any town across the United States: they work, play, work out, veg out, and just live. However, this town is laden with things to do outdoors. You can be a homebody here, but you might not have much company. See more

Finding an apartment in Cedar Lake 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.
