San Marcos, CA pet-friendly apartments are sometimes not so friendly

One of the major problems encountered by pet-parents has to do with breed restrictions, given that many apartments are not pit bull friendly rentals or large breed dog friendly apartments. Some properties are being extra cautious about certain breeds, because they just don’t get it that your Sparky is more than a destructive tail-wagger. So, you ask yourself “how to rent with a pit bull”? Worrying about where to you can find apartments that allow pit bulls? Even though it looks like an impossible task, it is not. RentCafe has 25 no breed restriction apartments in San Marcos, CA for as low as $1,800. Even though it is not easy to rent with a pit bull, your goofy best friend has nothing to worry about. In a 2,976 Sqft rental, your buddy won’t feel caged and cheerless, but happy like a toddler on Christmas morning. You can also contact property managers directly to see if their apartment is suitable for you and your pet.
