Pets in your council home
Most council tenants can keep pets in their home. In some types of accommodation, including tower blocks, you will need permission before getting a pet.
As a pet owner, you are responsible for making sure your pet is well cared for and does not cause nuisance, damage or safety concerns for other residents.
Read our Pet Ownership Policy to find out:
- whether you need permission
- which pets are allowed
- your responsibilities as a pet owner
- how to apply for permission if required
- what happens if the policy is not followed
