Cats are welcome in almost every property in the city as long as there are not more than two per unit. A lot of properties have weight and breed restrictions for dogs, although there are a few that don’t have any restrictions at all. Some important things to look for when renting an apartment with your pet are:
- Pet deposit: every property has an additional deposit for having a pet in the unit. This ranges anywhere from $200 - $800 with part being refundable as long as there is no damage to the unit when you move out.
- Pet rent: some properties have begun charging a monthly fee for having a pet in the apartment. This charge ranges anywhere from $10 - $30 per month and sometimes depends on the size of the pet.
- Dog runs/dog parks: the most pet-friendly properties offer outdoor spaces for our canine friends to stretch their legs and play. Ask us about which properties offer this wonderful amenity.
Although it can be difficult to find properties willing to accept large dogs, there are properties that will in each area of town. Just contact Houston Apartment Insiders, the best Houston apartment locators, and we’ll be happy to help. We love our pets!
Call or email us today to find out all of the details including the amazing deals they are offering our clients. They are doing probably some of the BEST specials in town!
- One of the easiest things is to make sure to turn of all of your lights when you leave your apartment. This will not only help the earth, but it will lower your electricity bill as well! Keep your electronics plugged into surge protectors and just flip the switch when you are not using them. This works for cell phone chargers, toaster ovens, blenders, TV’s, etc.
- Stop using paper towels or at least cut down on the amount you currently use. We’re all guilty of pulling 5 paper towels off the roll just to soak up a small spill when really one paper towel would have done the trick. Make a conscious effort to reduce how much you use paper towels and switch to washable bar towels or cotton cloths instead. They’re great for cleaning any surface and they are easily washed with the rest of your laundry
- Also, be aware of what cleaning products you use. Not only can some of them contain harsh smelling chemicals that are bad for the environment, but they can be bad for your health as well. Try to find organic or natural products at the grocery store or anywhere else you shop. They’re super easy to find these days
- Finally, recycle! Just because you live in an apartment does not mean you should not continue to recycle your plastic, paper, and glass items. Either pick up a bin and make a point of making a weekly trip to a recycling center or talk to your property manager about starting a recycling program at your apartment complex that everyone can participate in. More and more properties are taking part in programs like this and their residents are so pleased
All of these are easy, inexpensive ways to “Go Green” in your Houston apartment! Remember to get in touch with us for your new Houston apartment search!
