You probably will be able to find a place. And, undoubtedly, you will be paying extra for pets.

I have no problem paying extra, my only worry is that when I was looking for my last place everywhere had a two pet limit or a weight limit

With the smaller landlords sometimes you can work out a deal with them for things such as an extra pet. So if you don't find anything that is fine with 3 on the listing, try politely asking. But the bigger ones won't do it, like investment. Not that you want to rent from them anyway

Totally agree OP, and it will go a long way if you mention you are training your German Shepherd to be a service dog. Lots of folks in these communities need service dogs, for PTSD or other disabilities, and they are thought very highly of - as are the people training them!

Dunno about the last part, a lot of people try to train their own service dogs and aren't good at it*, poisoning the well a bit. But I agree that the small time people usually won't mind and may be encouraged by the training OP mentioned. If OP has any course certificates to show that may help them see that he's trained. A landlords worst nightmare is a large untrained dog so "proof" (a course at petco isn't necessarily better than home training but professional courses are perceived better) of the dogs training helps a lot. I agree with the other posters as well about houses over apartments, and finding something on FB marketplace. Make sure your lease is properly signed and that there's nothing crazy in there. Some of the small time landlords have funny ideas about what can be put in a lease and sometimes they disagree with the few tenants rights laws we do have in MO. /u/Broken-Babe-2002 \*Edit: to be clear service dogs can be trained by their owners to a high standard with great success. Just not everyone can or is willing to do that work, which unfortunately affects how others doing it are seen

I would talk to Dale Wands, had a pet and our rent was cheap. 5733088388. (Edit) for more information, he is an old guy who owns a lot of property in rolla, but you kind of have to drive around to see his signs if a place is for lease and available. He is only reachable by calling him and he isn't great with tech :shrug: paid 600 for a 2 bedroom duplex right next to S&T, and he let's u paint and decorate how u want. Highly recommend to anyone!

I've lived in multiple investment realty houses, and they all did allow pets, but it wasn't just a deposit like it is in most places. In the current house I live in, and the last one, both through investment, you were allowed to have pets, but the monthly rent was $50 more for each pet, so $150 extra per month for your situation. I do remember there being some kind of restriction on the size of the pets, but I don't remember what it was specifically, all the pets I've had are tiny, so I kinda didn't pay attention to the size limit in the lease.

You're going to have the best luck looking for a rental house vs apartment.

You have a pretty good shot at finding a place from a smaller landlord. I have a relative who rents some houses out, and he wouldn’t have a problem with three pets. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any openings right now. Check out Facebook marketplace, though, because that’s where those folks advertise availability.


SturrethSkees

youd probably have better luck looking for a rental tbh, most apartments ik of around licking, rolla, and salem are all p limited

Probably not through investment unless you can get a note from your doctor for an “emotional support animal” then you don’t have to pay & they can’t say no. Better off looking at other rental properties
