73 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

You can't really talk about the Jersey Shore without bringing up a Springsteen song. Maybe the crew from the reality show "Jersey Shore" has put it in a more dubious light, but reality television is not really reality, right? Brigantine, New Jersey is just a quick 15-minute drive over the bridge from Atlantic City, but is a world away from the gambling, nightlife boardwalk atmosphere of that part of the Jersey Shore. If you want it, you can easily have your fun and then retreat to your little island. For a bigger city experience, you can be in Philadelphia in just over an hour, and on a good traffic day, Brigantine is only two hours from New York City. See more

Finding an apartment in Brigantine 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.
