Pet-Friendly Apartments in Columbus, Ohio: What to Look for Before You Sign

More than 55% of Columbus households rent rather than own, and a lot of those renters have a cat, dog, or both. With citywide average rent sitting somewhere between $1,365 and $1,490 a month depending on the source, price is always part of the search — but for pet owners, the pet policy can matter just as much as the rent number. Here's what to actually check before you sign a lease in Columbus, plus where to find a floor plan that works for the whole household.
What "Pet-Friendly" Actually Means (Read the Fine Print)
Not every property that advertises itself as pet-friendly treats pets the same way. Before you tour, it's worth asking about:
• Breed and size restrictions — many communities cap weight or exclude specific breeds
• Pet deposit — a one-time, often refundable charge
• Monthly pet rent — an ongoing fee added to your base rent
• Pet limits — how many animals are allowed per unit
• Where you're actually allowed to walk and relieve your pet on-site
None of these details are dealbreakers on their own, but they change the real monthly cost of renting with a pet, so it's worth getting the numbers in writing before you fall in love with a floor plan.
Pet-Friendly Living at The Continent French Quarter
The Continent French Quarter Apartments is pet friendly, with size and breed restrictions, a pet deposit, and monthly pet rent — the standard structure you'll find at most Columbus communities, laid out clearly by our on-site team before you sign anything. Spacious floor plans and a central courtyard give pets (and their owners) room to stretch out, and off-street parking makes it easy to head straight in after a walk.
Rent with electric included also helps offset the added monthly cost of pet rent, since you're not stacking a utility bill on top of it.
Floor Plans With Room to Roam
All floor plans come with fully equipped kitchens and central air, and several include a washer/dryer hookup:
• One Bedroom, One Bath Suite (the Sulu floor plan)
• Two Bedroom, One Bath
• Two Bedroom, Two Bath Suite (the Caribbean floor plan)
• Two Bedroom, Two Bath Townhouse (the Coral floor plan)
• Two Bedroom, Two Bath Suite with washer/dryer hookup
• Two Bedroom, Two Bath Townhouse with washer/dryer hookup
A Walkable Neighborhood for You and Your Pet
The Continent puts restaurants, nightlife, and a movie theater within walking distance, and I-71 access close by for vet visits or trips further out. Whether you're taking your dog on an evening walk through the neighborhood or just want a quick outing without much driving, the location does a lot of the work.
