Pets in your home
Pets affect your neighbours, not just yourself, so all residents (owners and tenants) need our permission before getting a pet.
Our decision is based on a few factors:
- The type of property you have
- If you have access to your own garden or direct outdoor access
- Your tenancy type – for example, pets are not allowed in any of our keyworker homes
If you live in a suitable home, we also have rules around the pets themselves:
- Cats or dogs – you can have a maximum of two animals, and we don’t allow any dogs that come under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991
- Caged animals – will be assessed on a case-by-case basis
- Farm animals (including chickens) – not allowed
- Animals that come under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976- not allowed
If we give you permission, you’ll need to take care that your pet doesn’t upset any of your neighbours. If we get a complaint, you may have to find a new home for your pet.
