Pet Friendly Housing   by Maria Elena

Pups are great companions, both lovable and loving. Unfortunately, housing situations for even the most lovable of pups and their owners can be fairly limited. While some home owners have the ability to have multiple pets in their house, the rest of us are limited by our landlord’s rules. Apartments, condos, and some homeowners associations enforce pet rules as well. While there is some housing that has that big “No dogs allowed” sign in the front, there are a few that allow pets- as long as you abide by the rules.

No means no

Just to start things off- If there is a “No dogs allowed” sign up front, don’t try to sneak little Fluffy in with you. You’ll just end up stressing yourself out or getting mad at Fluffy for doing what they do (bark at that cat in the window), and if (when is more likely) your landlord does find out, the best thing You Can hope for is that they’ll make you pay a fine. If you aren’t that lucky, you’re gonna be looking for a new home soon- and it’ll be harder to get into a pet friendly location since you’ll have violated your lease terms by having a pet where you weren’t supposed to.
