Landlords and agents made my owners feel like we were “bad tenants” but Repit was always on our side. They helped us find a beautiful house with amazing backyard for me playing with and do zoomies all day long!

When my family decided moving to the UK I was excited but worried! Seems like dogs are not the best offer for landlords. Repit helped us to find a beautiful pet-friendly maisonette next to a great park, where I found a lot friends!

I always come to a new home first, so I need to be sure that the new home is sweet and warm. Repit helped us to find the right one and it's purrrrfect! Lots places to hide and play with my family and cozy warm corner for me.

All the team are incredibly friendly (and gave me great belly rub). Polite and on the ball. Repit helped us to reassure the landlord that I'm not going to chew their furniture (even I wanted to) and found a flat with a great window to observe a street around.

We struggled to communicate with agents as they were not accommodating of myself. The team at Repit was very helpful and understanding of our needs. We found our perfect house!

Pawsitively thrilled with our new home in Greenwich! Big thanks to Repit for fetching a fantastic place for my family. They expertly negotiated with the landlord, turning their initial 'bark' into a welcoming 'woof.'

At the moment of writing this article, the law in force states that it is at landlord’s discretion whether to allow tenants to have pets.
In January 2021, the government published a revised Model Tenancy Agreement which includes a clause that landlords should consent to tenants having pets unless it is unreasonable for them to do so.
If a landlord decides to use the Model Tenancy Agreement as the agreement governing the tenancy, they cannot issue a blanket ban on pets. If a tenant requests, the landlord's consent will be the default position unless objected to in writing within 28 days from the date of the request.
Under the Model Tenancy Agreement, rejections should only be made where there is good reason, for example where the property is small or if it’s a flat where owning a pet could be impractical.To ensure landlords are protected, tenants will continue to have a legal duty to repair or cover the cost of any damage to the property.
Remember — landlords might not be super happy about dogs, especially big ones, but a house-trained indoor cat, guinea pig or a goldfish are more likely to get landlord’s consent.
Landlords might be concerned with a number of things when it comes to letting properties to tenants with pets.
The most obvious concern is damage to the property. If a pet owner is irresponsible, damage can occur to floors, carpets, wiring and furniture (if the property is rented furnished). The costs of rectifying that damage could be high, so landlords may not grant their consent.
Repit tip: Create a pet CV obtaining references from your vet and previous landlords and negotiate to insert additional terms to your tenancy agreement where any damage caused by your pet would be your responsibility before moving out and
If you’re unsure how to approach this — ask Repit and our experienced team can get in touch with your landlord for you
No matter your circumstances, you must always ask the landlord that you are either looking to rent with a pet, or if you’re an existing tenant, that you’d like to get a pet.
If the landlord consents, they are likely to ask you to agree to an additional set of terms to your tenancy agreement relating to the pet. For example, that the pet will be well looked after, the property will be kept tidy to avoid any unpleasantries related to animals and that if any damage occurs during the duration of your tenancy, you, as a pet owner, will make it good before moving out.
As a pet owner, you will also be expected to make sure your pet does not become a nuisance to neighbours.
Do not keep a pet without the landlord's consent.
If you do not disclose your pet to your landlord and they discover it through property inspections or complaints from neighbours, it will amount to a breach of your tenancy agreement which could then lead to eviction.
