Imagine coming home from an exhausting day to your furry friend rushing up to you and embracing you. That’s a dream come true for many Winnipeggers. The number of pet-friendly apartment rentals has increased because renters have discovered that tenants with pets stay longer. Whether it’s a 1-bedroom pet friendly apartment, or a 2-bedroom pet friendly apartment, or a 3-bedroom pet friendly apartment for rent in Winnipeg, there are a few pet-friendly options.

Here are some things to keep in mind when looking for a pet friendly apartment:

Narrowing Down Your Listings

As a pet parent, you should first narrow your listings in the search to a pet-friendly apartment for rent. Winnipeg will show a variety of options but none that include best in class suites like Sachi apartments. This also helps weed out listings you shouldn’t waste your time or energy on. Pet-friendly rental properties explicitly mention it on their websites, making the process easier and more time efficient. 

What Pet Rules Apply?

Even pet-friendly apartments have rules. It’s best to look them up in advance, so you know what to expect when looking at them.

Some rental properties might only allow certain breeds in the building if you have a dog. Depending on your pet type, its size and weight, they may or may not be allowed to stay. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of the residents.

Prepare Your Pet’s Resume

Your pet might be your favorite animal, but your future landlord should know what to expect. On a pet resume, you can mention your pet’s positive attributes like not making much noise. This will help convince your landlord to let them stay.

What Are the Pet Fees If Any?

Your pet is like a roommate, which is why most rental properties charge an additional fee. It’s better to ask about the fees for different breeds and types of pets in advance so later revelations don’t sour the deal.  If you have a fish, for example, the additional fees might not be much depending on the rental property.

Pet-Friendly Locality and Amenities

Finding the perfect home for you and your pet shouldn’t be a hassle, which is why we’ve simplified the process as much as possible. Ultimately, you should trust your gut as a pet parent. We hope one of the pet friendly homes at Sachi Apartments, opening in October, will meet your needs.

At Sachi Apartments, we know how stressful it can be to keep your apartment clean. Once clutter starts building up, you could find yourself getting overwhelmed and put it off. How can you clean your 3-bedroom apartment for rent in Winnipeg? There are numerous apartments with simple layouts that can be cleaned easily if you know how to do it.

Here are some ways you can keep your apartment clean and be proud to  invite your friends over.

Clutter First

                Start with making a pile for clutter or things that are in the wrong place. This includes keys, pens, notebooks, etc that might end up in places where they aren’t supposed to be. By keeping them in one place, you’ll be able to see what needs to be cleaned first. It’ll also put your mind at ease and will make vacuuming easier later.        

Doing The Dishes

               We know the mountain of dishes in the sink has started to haunt you. Not to worry! Doing the dishes first will get the most daunting task out of the way. After you’re done scrubbing, emptying the dishwasher, and putting away your dishes, will be much easier when cleaning the rest of the kitchen.

Collecting Garbage

               Apartments for rent usually have a BFI bin or garbage bin nearby. Sweep up and collect all your garbage in a single garbage bag so you can put it in the dumpster for the garbage truck to collect. Your apartment will start to look cleaner instantly.

Collecting The Laundry

          You might think that doing the laundry during a deep cleaning would take up too much time. However, it’s better to start with gathering the laundry in one place instead. This will also help clear up space for you to vacuum later. Plus, throwing that shirt you seldom wear into the washing machine while you do other things, is an efficient way of doing your cleaning.

Prioritize Kitchen and Washroom Cleaning

               Everyone dislikes cleaning the washroom. However, if you start here, it’ll be much easier to get the most unpleasant part of cleaning out of the way. You can start with your toilet, then your sink and shower, before moving to sweeping and mopping the floor to clean up fine hairs and debris. Cleaning the kitchen countertop will also leave you with a solid sense of accomplishment. 

Use An All-Purpose Cleaner

          It’s time-consuming and costly to switch between cleaners. That’s why using an all-purpose cleaner is much more efficient while cleaning your apartment. You can easily spray it on both countertops and the toilet. There are many different brands you can choose from in the market.

Keeping your apartment clean can be difficult and time-consuming work. Cleaning pet-friendly apartments for rent can be even more difficult. Winnipeg has many listings, that allow you to keep pets, but they can make more of a mess. Hopefully these suggestions help you keep your home at Sachi Apartments in Winnipeg clean and comfortable. We are open in October and looking forward to meeting you.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

Make A Checklist

          The first thing you should do is make a list of all the things you need in an apartment. There are numerous apartments for rent and Winnipeg has one for every type of person. If you’re looking for a pet-friendly apartment for rent, Winnipeg has specific buildings that allow pets too. Sachi is one of those apartments for rent in Winnipeg.  

Your checklist should be divided into necessities and wants. Sure, a good view would be nice but is it as important as a spacious kitchen?

Check Apartment Listings

               Look up advertisements online or in the newspaper. Which apartment listings match your checklist? Do you need a 3-bedroom apartment for rent? Winnipeg has a wide variety of options depending on the number of people staying. You can call the landlord and confirm if the mentioned amenities are available. This should help you cross out ones that don’t fit your requirements.

Make An Appointment

               Of course, simply looking at the listings isn’t enough, you must visit the apartment to get a good feel for it. Good apartments for rent are hard to come by in Winnipeg without 10 other applicants also trying for the same one. You can stand out by making a good impression on the landlord or superintendent.

Closely Inspect The Apartment

          Make sure that the unit has all the offered utilities and that they function properly. Check the plumbing to see if it works, as well as the electricity and heating systems. Check for infestations, which will cause a lot of trouble if left unchecked. Are there any signs of mice or cockroaches?

Of course, security is an important part of living at any apartment; do the locks work properly? If they don’t, you’d be at risk of experiencing break-ins. Also ensure that the elevator of the building works and that the hallway isn’t too narrow for when you’re moving furniture.

Prepare Necessary Documents

               Your leasing agent might want to see your proof of income or photo ID to verify your identity and to know that you’re serious about getting the apartment. It’ll help them keep it reserved for you.

Apartment hunting can be fun! Imagine yourself living in every new space of the apartment complex for rent. Write down the utilities they offer, and whether or not they’re pet-friendly, is an important part of the process. Ultimately you should trust your gut.
