If you own a pet and are moving to Atlanta permanently or even temporarily for a long stint, you will have to specifically look for a pet friendly Atlanta apartment. Not all apartment communities welcome pets in their midst and while this may be frustrating for pet owners, there are several very practical reasons for this reluctance. One of the major influencing factors is that it is just not possible to determine at the outset whether or not you are a responsible pet owner. Far too many landlords have had bad experiences with irresponsible pet owners who couldn’t be bothered with cleaning up after their pets when they go out for their daily walk or who have allowed their pets to have the run of the house resulting in torn or stained upholstery and carpets. Even worse are dogs who bark non stop through the day till their owners come back from work. These are all legitimate reasons why most landlords are not exactly overjoyed at renting out their Atlanta apartments to individuals or families that have pets. This does not mean that finding a pet friendly Atlanta apartment is impossible. There are several facilities that welcome pets. The trick lies in being able to find such rentals. Here are a few tips and suggestions that will help you: Start your search well in advance. Looking for pet friendly accommodationsadds one more specification to your already long list of criteria. This can narrow down your options considerably, which means it can take you longer to find a suitable apartment. If you want until the last minute, you may find you will have to compromise on your preferences. Don’t even waste time with places that are anti-pets. Most of them will not relent on their policy. Instead, focusing your energies on communities that do allow pets will be more productive. In looking at these pet-friendly communities, one thing you should take time to do is to check if they have any policies in place regarding pets. If they do have proper guidelines you know that the others who also own pets will be responsible and committed residents. If you have found an ideal Atlanta apartment in a complex that welcomes pets but the individual owner is reluctant to have pets in his home, it is worth spending some time with the landlord to find out why. Very often, it will be because of an earlier bad experience. Convincing the landlord that you are a responsible pet owner could change the decision in your favor. Let the landlord know that your pet is house trained and you are aware about your responsibility regarding cleaning up after your pet outdoors. Tell the landlord you are prepared to pay an additional deposit to cover any potential damages to the property. Take your pet along with you so the owner or the condominium board can see for themselves that your pet is well behaved and is not likely to be a nuisance to the other residents.
