Tenant(s) must not keep any animals, reptiles, insects, or other such pets in your property without written consent from us. We will inform you if a tenant(s) wants to get a pet. The introduction of pets without consent is considered a direct breach of a tenant(s) obligation which could result in notice being served on a tenant(s).
If pets are approved, a statutory top-up of a tenant(s) deposit is required (Up to the maximum amount of deposit that can be taken, 5 weeks rent).
If applicable, this is a one-off payment equivalent to 1 week’s rent which will be lodged with the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) (unless the property is reduced criteria where this does not apply).
Please note we do not allow more than 2 pets per household. If a tenant(s) wants to get a pet that does not fit into the following categories it will not be approved and we will not ask your permission as a landlord for this:
- Domestic pets including dogs, cats, fish, small birds, rodents, rabbits, non-venomous insects, or small non-venomous reptiles.
- If a tenant lives in a property that has a shared entrance, the tenant(s) are not allowed to keep cats and dogs.
