Do you have a pet and need to rent a property in London? We take a look at ten landlords and operators providing beautiful London rental properties that allow residents to keep pets. Some even include doggy yoga sessions for residents and pet treats in foyers!
Recent statistics show that 41 per cent of UK households include at least one pet. Surveys suggest that Londoners differ from the rest of the country in that they are more likely to own a dog than a cat. So, with all these pets around, why is it so hard to find rental properties that allow pets?
It can be extremely hard to find a rental property that lets you keep pets. Many private landlords are not keen on the idea. This can be especially true if you’re renting in London or other cities.
Why do some landlords not want pets?
Many private landlords are hesitant to allow pets in their rental properties. This may be for a number of reasons. One big factor is the shed hair and smell that some pets can leave on soft furnishings in a property, which can be hard to remove. Pets scratching or chewing can also cause damage to the property.
However, there is good news! There are a growing number of beautiful London rental options for pet owners in buildings that are purpose-made for renting.
