Pets Allowed vs. Pets Friendly — What’s the difference between them in Dallas area apartments?
November 2, 2021
Pets Allowed vs. pets friendly — what’s the difference between them in Dallas area apartments? That’s a good question which can be confusing. Basically an apartment complex, whether it’s in Downtown Dallas, Plano, Addison, Carrollton or anywhere else in the Metroplex, pet friendly apartment complexes cater to pets and pet owner needs, often trying to attract pet owners. Pets allowed apartments, just as the name implies simply allow tenants to have pets. They don’t usually actively seek tenants who own pets.
Typically apartments where pets are allowed will have restrictions. Larger dogs may not be welcome or it may be restricted to cats only. Often you won’t find lots of open space to exercise your pet and you may be required to post a hefty pet security deposit. If your pet is noisy (often dogs may experience separation anxiety and bark when owners go to work — increasingly common in these post pandemic times when owners who were once home all the time now return to work), you may be asked to remove the offending pet.
Pet friendly apartments and apartment complexes, on the other hand, create an open and inviting environment for you and your pets. The complex may offer such things as a dedicated, fenced pet play area or even pet washing and grooming facilities. You’ll often find the complex going out of the way to make pet owning easier and fun. You may even find organized social events where owners gather to meet neighbors and their pets. You may even find organized pet “play dates.” Many of these apartments list the pet amenities they offer but be sure to ask management when touring the facility. Consider too if the apartment is near one of the greenbelts, hiking and biking trails or a park. All of these can make owning your pet while renting easier and more enjoyable.
You can usually expect to pay more for a pet friendly apartment even in Downtown Dallas, Plano, Addison or Carrollton but this is not always the case. There are thousands of pet friendly apartments in the Dallas area so choices are varied. Even in a pet friendly apartment, you’ll likely be required to pay a pet deposit but that’s typically intended to help ensure you are a responsible pet owner and a good neighbor.
