Mason is a quiet little town on the outskirts of the Lansing area -- but Mason and Lansing have been battling it out for which city is more important since the very beginning. Mason was named for the state's first governor, Stevens T. Mason, and is the county seat of Ingham County. Even though Lansing is also in Ingham County, this is the only county in the U.S. where the county seat and state capital aren't the same city.
Today, Mason is clearly winning the battle -- depending on what criteria you use, that is. Mason's population grew 20 percent between 2000 and 2010, perhaps because people are tired of the urban infrastructure in Lansing and want a more rural setting, or because new faculty members at Michigan State University want to settle down in a safe, quiet community. Either way, there's a lot to love about Mason. See more
Finding an apartment in Mason 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.
