Lansdowne, PA

117 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Long before Sean Combs was throwing his White Party in South Hampton, Philly, residents were escaping the city by horse and train to summer in the resort town of Lansdowne. Naturally, the progression of modern transportation made the five miles between Lansdowne and Pennsylvania more accessible, and it has grown beyond its roots as a vacation spot. The proximity to the City of Brotherly Love has infused Lansdowne with some of the best cultural aspects of city living while it has maintained the community atmosphere and walkability of a small town.

Finding an apartment in Lansdowne 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.
