Dyer, Indiana: Home to the Jacobethan Revival Architecture of Meyer's Castle
Okay, don't get too excited--moving to Dyer doesn't mean you'll actually be living in a castle. But you can definitely find a great apartment, and get your palatial fix with visits to Meyer's Castle on the weekends (fine, you can still wear a crown. Just don't try to dig a moat in your new yard.) Dyer is a small town of about 16,000 people that offers all the comforts and conveniences of a major metropolitan area, with Chicago just a short drive away. Named one of the fastest growing towns in Indiana, Dyer placed 97th on the "100 Best Places to Live in the US" report by CNN and Money magazine. See more
Finding an apartment in Dyer 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.
