Finding a Boston Rental with a Dog

This week, a well-researched piece, No Fair for Fido: It’s ‘Challenging’ to Find an Apartment in Boston If You Own a Dog, by Lisa DeCanio over on BosInno.com, reminded us that this is a topic we haven't covered in a while.

"That is Otis! He's a silly Cockapoo. Great dog," says Lisa. He's a special dog in her life!

When you click over to Lisa's article, be sure to read the comments, because they contain both experience and wisdom.

We wrote about this topic for vacation rentals, but you might be able to adapt some of the tips in our piece to the wider rental market.

    I faced this issue. I do set up a search on CraigsList for places in the area that I want and I do check off the ‘dog’ box. But I also look through the ads for places that accept cats and write to them and in the second email mention my dog, and sometimes they agree! It’s worth a shot.
