No. Pet-friendly usually means pets may be allowed, but buildings can still have fees, breed or weight limits, pet-count limits, and documentation requirements. Confirm the rules with the agent.

Use the $5,000 median rent as a quick benchmark, then compare each apartment's asking rent, plus broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any pet-related charges.

Openigloo lets you check renter reviews and building-level feedback so you can look beyond the asking rent and spot management, maintenance, or move-in issues before applying.

Ask whether the unit is covered by good cause protections, what pet restrictions apply, and whether there are any extra fees, lease add-ons, or move-in costs.
