North Amityville, NY

35 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Spilling across the Southern State Parkway on Long Island, the CDP of North Amityville might be better known to some as that place where a Hollywood horror movie took place, but to others it's a sweet little parcel of land with affordable housing (for New York), relatively low crime rate and a commuter lifestyle. Head to the water and enjoy a scenic summer day by the pier catching fish or explore the considerable colonial history, if you're more the historical attractions type. If simple pleasures are your thing, welcome home. See more

Finding an apartment in North Amityville 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.
