I’m looking for a apartment complex that doesn’t have breed restrictions price around 900-1000 for a one bedroom. I would prefer someone that doesn’t check credit or they don’t have strict credit requirements. I also would prefer it to be in a good area with a lot of shopping around. I had applied to Heather Ridge in University City because I loved the area with soo much close by but they outsource their screening process. I make plenty money for the cost of the apartment but my credit history isn’t the best. Do anyone have any recommendations in the University City area ? Or north of uptown? My Job is in Mooreville but I want to stay in University City/ North Charlotte.
It's going to be very tough to do that. It's not merely a whim of the apartment management - their property insurance often stipulates that it excludes liability for certain breeds of dogs. You're more likely to get a break from a smaller private landlord, if you can show him/her the dog, and demonstrate that it's well behaved. So I would advise focusing on condos or homes for rent over apartments.
Just a thought......If I were an owner or manager of an apartment complex, or for that matter just had a room to rent, what would be my incentive to rent to someone without running a background/credit check on a prospective renter and/or who had a pet that is questionable or a potential liability ?
It seems you have two strikes against you, can you eliminate one to improve your chances?
Look at Shannon Green ($850 range) off Old Concord really close to the University.
It's a small condominium complex that is probably 90 or 95 percent absentee owners. They stay rented mostly, so it's hard to find a vacant one. I'm not certain, but my guess is the breed restrictions are less in condos.
There are also lots of condos for rent off Hanberry Blvd in University Townes and University Heights ($1100-1600 range). Those are all individually owned, but many are rented by the owners.
I have owned one there and rented to occupants with Pitbulls and German Shepherds, no problems. I can't swear to it, but I never saw any breed restrictions in the bylaws, only a limit on number of pets. (4).
There are also lots of condos for rent out Back Creek Church rd, between Back Creek and 485
FYI: I never ran background checks, just asked for three (non-family references) a work reference, and couple of other financial references/confirmations.

I have no Criminal History, So I don't care if they run a background check. Also I make nearly 20/hr and I have a Stable Work history. I have never had a job for less than 2 years. also I'm not Getting rid of my dog. I love Dogs and I hate owners who discard their pets just because they have been inconvenienced. Ive seen many people who get dogs and then 2-3 months later they are trying to give them away or abandon them at a shelter. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to respond. but As I see it I don't have a strike against me. I have no Evictions and I make enough money to rent in most non Luxury Developments. And if they don't accept Pitt Bulls then they aren't a fit for me.

Thank you for your response. I will certainly look into these suggestions. I really do appreciate your response.

HEy, as far as Shannon Green do you have a way to contact them? I Googled them, and there isn't a phone number or website listed. I'm currently living 3hr away from Charlotte. Do you have a way to reach any of the owners?

The only thing I can suggest is keep an eye on Zillow under the rent tab. Zero on those areas and check daily.
You will not find a website or phone number listed because they are all individually owned Condos that are rented by owners.
Sometimes you can call the HOA management team and they will have listings for rental units, but since they are building management only, there is no incentive for them to share which one's are rentals.
I see none at Shannon Green at the moment. Personally, I know one owner at Shannon Green and their unit just began a 12 month lease at the moment.
You should check Colonial Grand/MAA apartments. In other states they have no breed restrictions, but I’m not sure about Charlotte. I would imagine it would be the same.

Yep, there are two sides to that coin. I don't understand folks who cannot separate from pet animals when they pose some type of easily remedied problem.....like finding housing.... then complain (not that you are) that they cannot find a place to stay.
When it was time for us to embark on a new RV lifestyle, it was time to find new homes for two shedding Jack Russell's, both long time pets...the last thing I wanted in the $90K RV was dog hair over everything. It was not going to be like the life they had on the farm, when they could spend all day running around outside...it would have been cruel to confine them to an RV for the rest of their lives. They were replaced with a smaller, not so active, non-shedding breed. But, to each his/her own...I don't make the rules. Wish you luck.
