Manhattan, KS

23 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Referred to as the “Little Apple,” for reasons that should be abundantly obvious by the next word, Manhattan, Kansas is the fourth largest city in the state. It’s also home to Kansas State University and a few miles from a Fort Riley, a US Army base. Located in the Flint Hills area of northeast Kansas, Manhattan is a bit small in terms of city space. But what the city lacks in space it makes up for with a diverse population and great vibe. http://www.apartmentlist.com/cms/snippets/location/3107/review_city_guides See more

Finding an apartment in Manhattan 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.
