"Carry me back to old Virginia, There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow." - James Bland
Nestled among the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Christiansburg is the fourth largest town in the Commonwealth of Virginia with 21,00 residents. Just minutes from Virginia Tech and Radford University, it earned its reputation as a college town, but it has a rich history and attractions that allure more than just college students. The mountains provide many trails for hiking and outdoor activities and the town is considered the retail hub of the New River Valley for those shopaholics out there. See more
Finding an apartment in Christiansburg 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.
