Bordentown, NJ

56 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Bordentown is named after Joseph Borden, who is credited with developing one of the first systems of transportation to take people and freight from New York City to Philadelphia in 1740. To this day, Bordentown's prime location means it has the shortest access to Perth Amboy for easy transport of goods and people to the greater NYC area. Residents of Bordentown enjoy all the charm of small-town living, and rave about the exceptionally maintained parks. Bordentown has a population of just under 4,000; however, it is growing because of the intrinsic charm and historic value (it's home to founder of the American Red Cross Clara Barton, for one) of the community.

Finding an apartment in Bordentown 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.
