27 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Legendary Wild West frontiersman Daniel Boone traversed Elizabethton in its early days before it served as the site of two important American Revolutionary War battles. Steeped in American history, it may come as a surprise to learn that its nickname, City of Power, does not, in fact, have anything to do with its political or revolutionary coups. Rather, this bold title refers to the city's Wilbur Dam, which has been supplying the city with hydroelectric power since 1912. Democracy and dams alone don't sum up Elizabethton, which is also known for its natural beauty and its endearing Southern charm that has earned it the additional moniker of Naturally Nice. The seat of Carter County keeps up appearances with its wildly popular rhododendron gardens, parks throughout town and rivers that flow through much of the city. See more

Finding an apartment in Elizabethton 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.
