As a supporter of the Lets with Pets scheme, we undertake to encourage our landlords to consider letting their properties to tenants with pets and support them in their decision to do so. We are also committed to working closely with tenants that are looking to find a home for themselves and their pets, giving them advice on how to, and helping them negotiate with the landlords of their chosen properties.
It is unfortunate that pet-owning tenants struggle to find a rental property where their pets are allowed. By accepting tenants with pets you could increase demand for your property and attract responsible tenants. As pet-owner tenants know how difficult it is to find rented accommodation, they are more likely to stay longer in one tenancy and less likely to do anything to jeopardise the tenancy.
For advice and further information on renting to pet owners, read our full Guide To Renting With Pets and Landlord Pet FAQs.
If you are thinking about letting pet-owner tenants rent your property, please do not hesitate to contact one of our branches to discuss your requirements.
Pet Information Form
If you have given permission for a tenant to keep a pet in your property, it’s advisable to get as much information as possible about their pet before they move in. Details include the type of pet, contact details for their registered veterinary practice…etc. You can view Chestertons’ Pet Information Form here.
Pet Policy
Once you have decided to rent your property to a tenant with a pet you may want to introduce a pet policy letting tenants know what is expected. View our Pet Policy document here.
