Toronto definitely isn’t known as the most pet-friendly city for renters. Cafes and leash free parks are hard to come by too.
Often, landlords and property managers will refuse renters with pets, and many buildings have bylaws that disallow pets altogether.
It’s a struggle trying to pour through search results for your parameters, only to find that the apartment you love doesn’t allow Fluffy to live with you there.
There are a few good resources out there for renters to find apartments, condos and townhouses in and around Toronto that are known to be pet friendly.
Can’t leave this face behind.
TorontoRentals.com
Toronto Rentals is a great resource for people looking to rent in Toronto and find a place that will meet all their requirements, like allowing their furry family member to move in! It will make your search a lot easier and hassle free. Every listing gives you full information about the residence so you will know right away whether they allow pets, instead of going to see the place and getting invested and then finding out your pet can’t join you.
PetRentals.com
PetRentals.com keeps a small list of available rentals that welcome pets. It might not be updated too regularly, though, so it’s possible that the listings are out of date. But the site does allow renters to filter their search results for apartments that allow large dogs, small dogs and/or cats. You can even choose the type of building that suits you, such as a high-rise, house and townhouse.
