177 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Like so many cities in this area of New Jersey, life in Fanwood is one of dualities. While local residents are extremely careful to take note of their civic pride, there's no denying that plenty of activity in this part of the country revolves around New York City. When the towering skyscrapers of that metropolis sit right in your backyard while you enjoy the quieter haven of Fanwood, why have it any other way? See more

Finding an apartment in Fanwood 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.
