If you have a pet and you want to move into a new Houston apartment you should be aware of what guidelines pet apartments abide by. First of all if you have a cat you will be fine. Almost 100% of apartments accept cats. If you have an exotic pet you should check with the apartment manager or leasing agent. When it comes to dogs though, there are a few details renters should know before they begin their search. If you have a dog which is classified as an aggressive breed you will be denied at every apartment. Aggressive breed dogs include German Shepherds and Pitt Bulls.
I have asked about Doberman Pinscher’s. I am not sure if they are an aggressive breed, but I believe the majority of the population thinks they are. It would be great to get some feedback from a professional who knows. If you have a dog that falls into this category you will need to look elsewhere as the property will not accept the liability if your animal attacks a resident. If you have any questions be sure to ask the manager of the community. If your pet passes this test, the next will involve pet weight.
Most properties have strict rules regarding pet weights. If your pet weighs over 100 pounds then you are in trouble. I know Camden properties will take pets that weight up to 99 pounds. You should be ok if your pet is 5 to 10 pounds over the limit. Make sure you also ask about pet deposits, they can be 500 dollars or more for one pet. Remember to make sure you move your pet safely.
