Renters’ Rights Act 2025

The rules around pet refusals have changed.

Landlords can no longer include a blanket “no pets” clause. Tenants can make a formal written request and landlords must respond within 28 days with a reasonable ground if they want to refuse. A structured Pet Request Form gives you documented evidence that you considered the request properly — and a clear basis for any decision you make.
