5 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Cheap apartments, you’ll be glad to know, rule the roost in Stephenville, where the average rental goes for only $700, and campus area apartments are usually available for considerably less. Amenities range from basic to lavish, depending on how many greenbacks you’re willing to fork over. However, even some of the most modestly priced rentals come equipped with modern appliances, gourmet kitchens, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, gyms, clubhouses, and more. Waiting lists, fortunately, are pretty much nonexistent in Stephenville, so feel free to shop the market leisurely without worrying about the perfect apartment slipping out of your grasp. And, don’t forget to bring along proof of income, banking info, two forms of I.D., and a list of previous residences when you’re ready to submit a leasing app. Also, if you’re a student with no job, no income, no credit, and no leasing history (hey, at least you still have your dashing good looks or something), you’ll need a respectable cosigner to help seal the deal.

Planning to share room and board with a furry four-footed roommate by any chance? Sounds like you’ll be needing a pet friendly apartment in Stephenville. Fortunately, you’ll find a nice selection of pet friendly (including dogs allowed) rentals in and around town. Just be prepared to pay an extra $25 or so in rent each month (or an equivalent one-time fee) if you’re roommate is of the feline, canine, bovine, or UFO variety.

Crime rates, fortunately, are extremely low throughout the city, and violent crime is extremely rare (so don’t bother packing your bullet-proof vest). Still, like pretty much any modern city, the “Cowboy Capitol of the World” does see its fair share of petty (dare we say keg party-inspired?) crime and vandalism. Obviously, be sure to visit Stephenville in advance to see if you’re comfy with its vibes before signing a lease. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet community surrounded by open spaces, cattle, and the occasional UFO sighting, you’re better off concentrating on the rentals farther away from TSU. Likewise, if you’re a student, you might feel a bit out of place on the wide open, landowner-occupied outskirts.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the fun part: finding you the apartment of your dreams in Stephenville, Texas. Best of luck and happy hunting! See more

Finding an apartment in Stephenville 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.
