The small city of De Soto, Kansas, is named after Spaniard Hernando De Soto, a 16th-century explorer. He was the first person to cross the Mississippi River, and the city retains something of his sense of adventure to this day.
De Soto covers 11 square miles along the Kansas River, spanning Johnson and Leavenworth counties. It has a population of 5,720 and is just half an hour by car from Kansas City, so if you need some respite from relaxing small-town life (silly you!) you can be in a bigger city right quick. De Soto is regarded as part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, a region that encompasses 15 counties. See more
Finding an apartment in De Soto 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.
