Kingsport, TN

42 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Kingston is the largest city in the mountainous Tri-Cities area of Tennessee. Located in the northeast corner of the state, Kingsport sports natural beauty and more recreation possibilities than you can shake a jerky stick at. That's a lot! It's a fantastic place for retirees or anyone who enjoys free music, soda fountains, and a fair share of NHRA. What a great combo that is. Good housing is ridiculously inexpensive and the 44-block downtown just cries out for long, leisurely ambles. See more

Finding an apartment in Kingsport 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.
