Whitehall is said to be named after White Hall tavern, which still stands in neighboring Brentwood.
What makes the borough of Whitehall stand apart from other suburbs of Pittsburgh? You may well ask. If you took a walk down Brownsville Road, one of the main streets of Whitehall, and took a quick survey of the residents, then you would likely get a wide range of different answers to the question of why they like to live there. Keen golfers will cite the South Hills Country Club. Everyone, minus a few miserable misanthropes, would be likely to talk about the close-knit neighborly spirit that exists in this community of fewer than 14,000 residents (2010 U.S. Census). See more
Finding an apartment in Whitehall 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.
