In line with the Renters’ Act 2025, we will consider allowing you to keep a pet providing you get our written permission first.

When you ask for permission, we will normally respond within 28 days. However, it may take longer if we need to ask you for more information about your pet and/or if we need permission from the superior landlord for your building.

We will not refuse permission without a good reason. However, if you want to keep a dog, you will normally need to live on the ground floor and have sole access to a garden which is properly fenced and secure.

It is your responsibility to make sure your pet causes no nuisance to neighbours. If we give you permission, you must keep your pet under control and ensure that it does not foul any shared areas in your building.

We will refuse permission to keep any dog covered by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, or any other dog which appears to have been bred for fighting. We can take back our permission if we believe any animal is causing a nuisance or is a danger to other people.

Registered guide dogs for the blind, and hearing dogs for the deaf, are exempt from these rules.
