Ridgefield Park is one of the most historic villages in Bergen County, New Jersey, or in fact even the whole of the United States! Founded in 1892, this village still retains a lot of historic buildings, but that doesn't mean that it is stuck in the past. Samsung's US headquarters are located in Ridgefield Park, which has given the community a high-tech edge and given a boost to the local economy. Add to that the fact that Ridgefield Park is just a hop, skip and a jump (or a 30-minute drive) from Manhattan and you'll see why this community is one of the most desirable in all of New Jersey!

Finding an apartment in Ridgefield Park 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.
