Many renters worry about whether landlords will say no, what\u2019s allowed, and how to avoid problems later on. Renters\u2019 Rights Act changes coming in May 2026 mean tenants now have the legal right to request a pet.

A pet CV can support your request, but it doesn\u2019t guarantee approval. Landlords will still need to consider whether the property is suitable and whether there are any restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your pet CV clear, honest and focussed on practical details gives it the best chance of helping your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"c-faqs\" id=\"\">\n            <li class=\"c-faqs__item\">\n            <h3 id=\"can-a-landlord-refuse-pets-in-a-rented-property\" class=\"c-faqs__question\">Can a landlord refuse pets in a rented property?<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"c-faqs__answer\">\n                <p>Landlords can refuse pets in some circumstances, for example if the property isn\u2019t suitable or there are restrictions linked to the building (decisions should be based on the specific property and pet). The important change under the Renters\u2019 Rights Act is that landlords must now consider tenants\u2019 requests to keep a pet, rather than saying no from the outset.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n            <li class=\"c-faqs__item\">\n            <h3 id=\"do-i-need-permission-before-bringing-a-pet-into-a-rented-home\" class=\"c-faqs__question\">Do I need permission before bringing a pet into a rented home?<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"c-faqs__answer\">\n                <p>Yes. You should always ask for permission before bringing a pet into a rented property. Bringing a pet in without agreement could put your tenancy at risk. It\u2019s worth noting that you&#8217;ll need to get permission for each pet you want to bring into the property.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n            <li class=\"c-faqs__item\">\n            <h3 id=\"does-renting-with-a-pet-change-my-responsibilities-as-a-tenant\" class=\"c-faqs__question\">Does renting with a pet change my responsibilities as a tenant?<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"c-faqs__answer\">\n                <p>No. You\u2019re still responsible for looking after the property, preventing damage beyond normal wear and tear, and following the terms of your tenancy agreement.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n            <li class=\"c-faqs__item\">\n            <h3 id=\"will-having-a-pet-affect-my-deposit\" class=\"c-faqs__question\">Will having a pet affect my deposit?<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"c-faqs__answer\">\n                <p>Your deposit can only be used for damage beyond normal wear and tear. This applies whether or not you have a pet, which is why a clear inventory at the start of the tenancy is especially important.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n            <li class=\"c-faqs__item\">\n            <h3 id=\"are-some-types-of-homes-more-suitable-for-pets-than-others\" class=\"c-faqs__question\">Are some types of homes more suitable for pets than others?<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"c-faqs__answer\">\n                <p>Yes. Property type, size, layout and access to outdoor space can all affect whether a home is suitable for certain pets. These factors are often considered when landlords review pet requests.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n            <li class=\"c-faqs__item\">\n            <h3 id=\"what-is-a-pet-cv\" class=\"c-faqs__question\">What is a pet CV?<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"c-faqs__answer\">\n                <p>A pet CV is a short document that introduces your pet to a landlord or letting agent.
