The air is so pure and the breezes so fine, the zephyrs so balmy and light, that I would not exchange my home here to range forever in azures so bright. The Kansas state song, "Home on the Range," could add a new verse about the town of Derby. This small city not too far from Wichita has much to sing about.
Situated nearly a half an hour southeast of Wichita, the city of Derby, Kansas, rests neatly within the middle of the nation's heartland. For a town of just over 22,000 residents, Derby combines the easy-going nature of the plains with a suburban vibrancy that provides just enough kick to everyday life. While not bothered by the hustle and bustle of a big metropolis scene, the town makes the most of its comfortably tranquil city life with a wealth of community activities and plenty of space for a variety of recreational activities. Whether you fancy the culture of the Derby Historical Museum or the adventure of the Rock River Rapids, Derby has the right atmosphere and friendly company you'll enjoy. See more
Finding an apartment in Derby 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.
