What if I want to keep a pet in my rented home?

A cat, dog, or other furry friend is part of the family. It can be hard, though, to find rental properties that allow pets.

Whether you’ve already got a pet you want to bring with you, or you’re settled in a flat and looking to adopt one, it’s always worth just asking your landlord straight up. It’s futile to try and hide your pet from them – the truth usually comes out in the end and it could count as contract breach if it explicitly states pets aren’t allowed.

Check out our Ask The Landlord episode on pets in rentals:

If you’re looking for a flat where you can keep pets, and animal-lover flatmates to share with, we can help! Our find a home searches can be filtered to pet-friendly properties, and we can help you find a flatmate that loves animals as much as you.
