Pets In Lets after Renters' Rights Act

Landlord Guidance – Pets in Lets

The Renters’ Rights Act introduces changes to how pets are handled in the private rented sector in England. From 1 May 2026, tenants will have a legal right to request permission to keep a pet in their rented home.

These changes aim to make pet ownership more accessible for tenants while ensuring landlords can still manage their properties responsibly.
