East Franklin, NJ

100 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Verdant mountains, churning rivers and charming inhabitants make up a few of the many benefits of East Franklin. Of course, there's also the beach about five miles away. But despite being close to New York, the Atlantic Ocean and Pennsylvania, East Franklin is pretty tucked away and quiet. It's the sort of place where you know all your neighbors, greet sales clerks by name and develop a weekly routine. That's not to say it's boring. With all the earthly riches Mother Nature can provide, most locals can't find enough hours on the weekends to take advantage of all the recreational opportunities afforded to them. Combine that with a slew of nearby amenities and you have yourself a modern East Coast paradise. The only downside: living in paradise means you'll have to travel farther to get back to reality, a.k.a. work. See more

Finding an apartment in East Franklin 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.
