and What They Cost

Pet friendly apartments near UNR typically charge a pet deposit of $250 to $450 plus $20 to $40 in monthly pet rent, with base one-bedroom rents running $1,100 to $1,600. Because Reno gets real winter snow, pet friendly apartments near UNR with easy ground-floor access or cleared walkways make a noticeable difference for daily dog walks in January and February. Ask specifically about breed and weight restrictions, since these vary more here than in many markets.
