Madison Heights, VA 59 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Natural borders and strategic location made the area critical to the US Civil War, and nearby Lynchburg was a hub for Confederate hospitals and supplies. The most amazing claim to fame? Though the Union Army came within a mile of Madison Heights and Lynchburg, this section of Virginia was never conquered. It stayed in Confederate hands until the war ended. When you move to Madison Heights, you won't have to worry about armies encroaching. More important, you can avoid the deep cold that plagues northern states, as winter days generally don't drop below 40 degrees. Sure, it's not shorts and t-shirt weather, but it's pretty great when you can go outside in January without getting frostbite on your nose. View Madison Heights City Guide

Finding an apartment in Madison Heights 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.
