Scott, LA

35 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Known as the place, "Where the West Begins and Hospitality Never Ends", Scott is located to the west of Lafayette and lies 39 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. It was named after the illustrious Superintendent of Southern Pacific, Mr. J.B. Scott. First founded by the railroad built in 1880 using convict labor, it was not incorporated until 1904. Today, although it is actually a suburb of the bigger city of Lafayette, locals treat Scott as their own city with its distinctive history and memories. They even have a Heritage Interpretive Room where documentaries showcasing the local culture are screened and patronized whole-heartedly by proud locals. "The Scott Connection" is the city's first hometown newspaper that is published every Wednesday, and which provides readers with an unbiased reporting of events. See more

Finding an apartment in Scott 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.
