Victoria, MN

100 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

It's hard to believe today, given the number of residents making the daily commute to Minneapolis, but Victoria began as a strictly agricultural community, regarded as the absolute middle of nowhere. Thanks to the expansion of the Twin Cities, Victoria is now essentially an exurb, although it still enjoys much of the distinct feel of a rural enclave. In spite of its vast area of nearly ten square miles, the city was home to only 7,345 residents, as of the 2010 United States Census. That population very well may see a significant expansion in the next several years, as prospective residents consider taking advantage of the area's natural beauty and open space. See more

Finding an apartment in Victoria 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.
