I will be moving to the raleigh area in a couple months but I have a pitbull and want to know if there are any apartment complexs that allow him? If anyone knows of any in the area please let me know.
Good luck and get good insurance. Look I know your dog is a sweet thing raised by a good person but the bad press the breed has gotten from the ja(k@sses who raise mean dogs is well your problem also.
I know that many large complexes have absolutely ridiculous agressive breed lists (there is not really a standard list it seems), including everything from Pits and Rotties to GREYHOUNDS!! Others are far less inclusive, but I have yet to really notice one that had no breed restrictions, and if there are restrictions, unfortunately Pits are usually on the list. I would suggest trying to find a privately owned/managed apartment as these situations may be more personal and flexible (not to mention you won't have to put up with some of the ridiculous things that go on at even the nicest big complexes). I also suggest that you get insurance since that could be an advantage for you as well. Best of luck!
Hi,
There are a few places that have no breed restrictions but the only one I know of off hand is Avalon Peaks in Apex. Good luck! It's a great place and they have an excellent reputation as well.
PS I have pits, too. BEST DOGS EVER in the RIGHT hands!

We have a pit mix and rented a house from a couple, they were fine with the dog. We got a fenced in yard in the deal. Perhaps a small house might work out for you?
We live in an apartment (we don't have a dog), but my point is that even though there are breed restrictions here, I see pit bulls and rotwiellers around all the time. I'm not sure how tough they are on the restrictions. You could ask. PM me if you want the name of our apartment. We are in Durham though, not Raleigh.
The big issue for apartment complexes is the legal liability. Pit Bulls are the only breed officially recognized by NC as a "dangerous breed," although different towns or apartments have varying definitions.
Plus, there is recent caselaw holding a landlord liable if a tenant's dog attacks someone and the dog is either a known dangerous breed or has a history of attack.
Pit Bulls have a bad rap, but so many of them have been poorly bred that it is impossible to distinguish a good from a bad one unless you go through the geneology. And even that will not insulate the landlord from potential liability.
Anyway, good luck finding a place to stay. It's getting harder out there.

I have a pitbull, can I have the name of your apartment complex?
