If you have a pet and you’re going to college, you likely want to find somewhere that allows you to have your furry friend instead of leaving it at home. Here are some tips for finding a home suitable for both of you while you further your education.
Rules
When you begin looking for pet-friendly apartments in Springfield, MO, you need to look at the rules of each complex. Some might have restrictions on the number of pets that you can have while others might not allow you to have certain breeds. There could also be weight restrictions to keep in mind as well. Consider making a resume for your pet so that the apartment manager can see that you’re responsible and some of the details of your pet before deciding to rent to you or not.
Fees
Most pet-friendly apartments in Springfield, MO, will want you to pay a deposit or pay a monthly fee. Some might want you to pay both. Keep in mind that if your pet causes any damage to the apartment, then you might have to pay a fee when you move out.
Service Pets
Your pet could be listed as a service animal, which would mean that you wouldn’t be restricted on the breed or weight and wouldn’t have to pay the pet fees. You will likely need to be approved by your doctor to have your pet qualified as a service animal or an emotional support animal as you need to have some kind of disability or health issue.
