We're currently renting a ~2,000 sq foot townhouse with three levels and a small fenced back yard. We have one cat and one dog in our lease, and know that the previous tenant also had a dog. It might also be relevant that the vast majority of the people in the same HOA/ surrounding townhomes next to us and behind us have at least one dog, and the area is very pet friendly. Moving back to an apartment in the future isn't a concern. We plan to continue renting townhomes or houses until we buy a house.
I'll need to go through the property manager with this request. My other question is whether I could offer to replace the 30+ year old refrigerator in lieu of an additional pet deposit. While this would be more expensive than a regular pet deposit, the landlord had made vague promises to replace it when he can afford to. He lives out of state and owns multiple properties. Also, I'm just sick of the top of the refrigerator icing and then dripping onto everything in the fridge.
The dog we're interested in is a 7 month old male neutered beagle from a breed specific rescue, who sounds like he would be very compatible with my male 9 month old beagle mix. We'd plan on enrolling him in obedience classes and also taking our current dog there for a refresher (no fee since he's already taken the class).
Our dog always gets 2.5-3 hours of walks per day (one in AM, one in PM), additional trips to the park every few days, group hikes at state parks with other dogs and their owners weekly, and frequent several hour walks through nature trails on the weekends. I'm a fulltime grad student (for the next year/year and a half) who doesn't work, and all my classes are in the evening. I'm home during the day and with my boyfriend's work schedule, the dogs wouldn't be crated more than a few hours at a time.
