126 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The region around New Orleans has long been the subject of books, films and folklore alike. Known for its rootsy jazz music, mysterious black magic and a party scene that rivals Vegas or New York, this swampy neck of the woods offers intrigue to all who visit. The annual Mardi Gras Festival is perhaps the best-known feature of the region, though locals know it is much more than shiny beads and “Girls Gone Wild.” Jefferson Parish (Louisiana counties are still called “parishes”) offers its residents beautiful outdoor landscapes, rich historic culture and a wide variety of places to live to choose from.

Finding an apartment in Kenner 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.
