Seaside, CA 35 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Situated on the side of the sea, obviously, and walking distance to the popular little city of Monterey, this part of the California coast is a great option for renters looking for cheap apartments more than a city type of living. Around here, you don't have to spend a grand every month on housing. Nope, you can enjoy the ocean breeze, beach views, and year-round perfect weather for just $800 or $900 a month. And, in a city of just 9.4 square miles, the waterfront is always a short walk or bike ride away.

Seaside has just a handful of apartments, a few duplexes, and a few rental homes. Apartment life feels like living at a beach motel, with small two-story complexes located throughout the city at rates in the $800 - $1,000 range. Duplexes and houses rent for about the same rate, with one bedroom and two bedroom homes costing about $900 a month.

Lucky for you, pet-friendly apartments can be found very easily in this city. So, bring the pets along, chances are they will be more than welcome.

So, that's the thick and thin of Seaside life. Enjoy!

Finding an apartment in Seaside that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
