A missing amenity means missing data, not a missing dog park
We show an amenity only when the apartment data we buy lists it for that community. When a community is not on the list below, our data holds no amenity list for it. It does not mean the community turns dogs away, and it does not mean there is nowhere for your dog to go.
What our data lists
The amenities that matter to a dog
| Amenity | Communities publishing it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Dog Run | 8 | Somewhere off leash without a drive |
| Pet Wash | 2 | A tub that is not your bathtub |
| Fenced Yards | 5 | Direct access from the unit |
| Fenced Community | 6 | A perimeter, for a dog that bolts |
Counted from the amenity lists in the apartment data we buy. Communities with no list there are not counted and are not ruled out.
The arithmetic
What the dog adds to the monthly number
A pet fee is usually charged once and not returned. A pet deposit is usually refundable against damage. Pet rent is monthly, charged per animal, and it is the one people forget when they compare two apartments. Twenty-five dollars a month for two dogs is six hundred dollars over a twelve month lease, which is larger than most of the rent differences renters agonize over.

Communities we work with
These are our picks, and we're paid a fee by many of them when someone leases. Everything below is ordered by the deal math, not by that.
Fair Housing
An assistance animal is not a pet
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, a renter with a disability can ask for a reasonable accommodation in a community's rules, and an assistance animal is the most common one. When the accommodation is granted, the community's pet rent, pet deposit, breed restrictions and weight limits do not apply.
Every pet figure on this page describes pets. If you need an accommodation, say so and we will raise it with the community during the search. Our Fair Housing statement sets out how to escalate if a community handles that badly.

Questions renters actually ask
Does this page list every community that takes dogs?+
No, and it does not claim to. It lists communities whose amenity list, in the apartment data we buy, names a dog run, a pet wash or a fenced yard. Plenty of communities take dogs and have no amenity list in that data at all, so a community missing from this page has not been ruled out. Ask us and we will call.
What does a dog actually cost on top of rent?+
Usually three separate charges: a one-time pet fee that you do not get back, a refundable pet deposit, and monthly pet rent per animal. Two hundred, two hundred and twenty-five a month is a common shape, which is roughly three hundred dollars over a twelve month lease on top of the fee.
What about breed and weight restrictions?+
Most communities publish a restricted breed list and a weight cap, and both are usually set by the property insurer rather than the leasing office, which is why "can you make an exception" rarely works. A handful state no breed restrictions or no weight limit outright, and those are worth knowing about if you have a large or a listed dog.
My animal is a service or assistance animal. Do these rules apply?+
No. Under the Fair Housing Act an assistance animal is not a pet, so pet rent, pet deposits, breed limits and weight caps do not apply to one. You can request that accommodation from any community. Tell us and we will raise it during the search, before you apply and before you pay a fee.
