Dumont, NJ is a virtual paradise for anyone who wants to enjoy the New York City skyline but doesn't want to deal with the scrappiness of living in the city proper. With a population of 17,479 according to the U.S. census, this borough is only a few miles from midtown in New York City. You can drive across the George Washington Bridge or take the Lincoln Tunnel into the city. And if your roommate is borrowing the car, you can hop on a bus to get to Port Authority in a heartbeat. Life here is pretty and posh with a lot of big mansions and glittery cafes, and if you can afford the hefty price tags, you'll be rewarded with a high quality of living. See more

Finding an apartment in Dumont 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.
