Everyone who goes and takes a look at a new apartment is going to take into consideration all of the features that are available and what they are able to get out of the apartment community as well. They want to look for some special features or amenities that will make it more user-friendly and can make them feel like they are at home when they walk in the door. What you are looking for in an apartment may be different than what someone else is looking for. But what are most  renters looking for when shopping for an apartment?

Renters want to pick a new home that is healthy and sustainable, whether they are going for an apartment or they choose to purchase their first home. 65% said that a healthy building certification could help determine whether they would consider an apartment as one they want to move in and then 62% would say that a sustainability certification would do it.

That is just one of the things that renters are looking for when they choose a new home or apartment. Many of them want to move into a new apartment that allows pets. About 51% said that they are more likely to choose a property that is considered pet-friendly, while only 7% said that they are less likely to choose this kind of apartment if there were pets. Even with the higher numbers, only 36% of those surveyed had a pet, so it seems to be a popular feature whether the individual had a pet or not.

Even more interesting is that there are more dogs that live in apartments compared to cats. With the smaller size and less noise, and usually easier to take care of, you may assume that taking care of a cat in an apartment would be easier. But 70% of those who have a pet in an apartment had a dog and only 36% had a cat.
