105 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Apartments for rent in the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission metropolitan area typically start in the sub-$500 range and top out at close to a grand a month. Amenities and floor plans differ greatly from complex to complex (the less expensive apartments in Edinburg typically cover no more than 650 square feet and include basic amenities only, while luxury apartments and townhouses usually come equipped with walk-in closets, clubhouses, balconies, pools, and Wi-Fi access). Both cat-friendly and dog-friendly rentals are available (in limited quantities), but be prepared to pay an upfront pet deposit of at least a couple hundred greenbacks if your roommate is of the four-legged variety.

Waiting lists are unheard of at the modest number of apartment rentals in Edinburg, giving renters the luxury of shopping the market thoroughly and leisurely in search of the best deals. Move-in specials do pop up in Edinburg, especially for first-time renters. And even if a landlord isn’t advertising specials, it can’t hurt to haggle (so bring your most shrewd negotiating skills to the table when it’s time to sign a lease for your dream apartment in Edinburg!) Also, bring along proof of income, bank account info, a list of previous residences, and a blanch check to buck up for the modest security deposit ($200-$400) you’ll likely have to pay.

Something else to consider when moving into a new apartment in Edinburg is location. Use common sense when searching for an apartment in Edinburg.

Edinburg, meanwhile, is a largely Hispanic community, as Latinos account for more than 80 percent of the population. If you’re not up to par on your espagnol (or at least your Spanglish) you might have trouble communicating with many of your neighbors in South Texas. Luckily for gringos, apartment reps are typically bi-lingual, and leases are available in both Spanish and English, so you don’t have to worry about landlords sneaking hidden clauses into your lease agreement.

A largely quiet, laid back city with a small town vibe, Edinburg is a perfect residential destination for apartment dwellers from all walks of life. So what are you waiting for?

Finding an apartment in Edinburg 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.
