Pets
We allow residents to keep pets in line with the conditions set out in your tenancy agreement. You are allowed to keep cats, dogs, small caged animals, caged birds and fish in tanks, as long as they are kept in line with the conditions of the tenancy agreement.
If you choose to keep a pet, you must meet the following conditions.
- All animals must be cared for properly and kept under control, and must not cause a nuisance to other residents
- Animals must not be allowed to foul public areas
- You must clear up any mess immediately
- Animals must not damage our property
- Dogs must be kept on a lead in shared areas and must not enter children’s play areas
If you cannot meet the above conditions, you must get our written permission before you can keep any animals.
We will not withhold permission unless we have good reason. We may withdraw our permission at any time if we have good reason, for example, if your animal is causing a nuisance.
We will not give you permission to keep any animal which is classified as being dangerous under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976.
