Elgin, TX (said with a hard "g", like "Helga") is an idealistic slice of American small-town life -- not to mention the state's brick and sausage capital!
An industrious and authentically Texan town, Elgin is a suburban cousin of the City of Austin, home to local workers and Austinian commuters alike. Its population of more than nine thousand (by the 2010 census) are a wholesome and welcoming community of many socioeconomic backgrounds, and its central roads have shopping and food fare for every taste. Visitors and new residents will find a rich and vibrant culture, built upon a true Texas town and infused with a lively dose of southern art and music. See more
Finding an apartment in Elgin 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.
