Located in Nassau County on the south shore of Long Island, Cedarhurst is a village in the Town of Hempstead. Alongside Lawrence and the hamlets of Woodmere, Inwood and the Hewletts, it is considered part of the unofficially-named Five Towns. With just under 6,600 people calling Cedarhurst home, it might sound like a kind of small sleepy kind of a place. But for those of you folks who aren't from this neck of the woods, understand that it's about as close as you can get to 'The Big Apple'. Only a few hundred yards across Head of Bay, you'll catch a glimpse of John F. Kennedy Airport. Something for the international jet-setters to bear in mind! Cedarhurst is actually a part of what's now called the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Metro Area, just don't try saying that with your mouth full! See more

Finding an apartment in Cedarhurst 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.
