I find it easier to go with a trailer park (if they are prominent in the area you live in) or to a private renter. Apartment complex's are so picky. I really, really want a Doberman. I thought about it before I got Romeo, and decided I would wait until I buy my own house, just because of the difficulty of finding a house that rents to someone with aggressive breeds.

Does your dog have any obedience class certificates? Any vets, boarding facilities, groomers, willing to write up some references? Send all that in with your application. I myself would be hesitant to rent to someone with pets-what if the dog tore up my house, and the deposit was only $300? Or if the cats spray in the house? If you see what I mean. So references are great!
