Keeping a pet

If you would like a new pet to move into your home, eg dogs, cats or birds, please contact us to request permission. Permission will be given in accordance with your tenancy or lease agreement. 

We will not grant permission for any banned dog breed.

Don't forget that dogs are required by law to have a microchip.

Tenants

Please call 0800 3 282 282.

You must not keep any livestock or unlicensed or illegal exotic or wild animals in the property (including any garden provided).

You're responsible for ensuring that your pet doesn't cause a nuisance or damage to your home or shared area.

We will ask you to remove the pet or take legal action to request removal of your pet, if it's found that you aren't following our expectations for owning a pet.

  1. Pets must be kept under control at all times
  2. If a dog fouls in a communal area, it should be cleared up immediately and disposed of in the correct manner. If the dog fouls in your own garden, please ensure this is cleared up on at least a daily basis.
  3. Pets must not cause nuisance or disturbance to any other persons or animals. If you want to report an issue with a dangerous or nuisance dog or other animal then please visit our antisocial behaviour pages to find out more.
  4. Commercial breeding from our properties is not permitted
  5. Dogs must wear a collar and tag and be appropriately handled at all times.
  6. Dogs must be kept on leads in all communal/estate areas at all times and must not be allowed in areas designated for children.
  7. If you go away on holiday, are absent or vacate the property for any substantial period of time, you must make suitable arrangements for pets to be cared for and nominate a carer who will take responsibility for the pets during this absence.
  8. Pets must not cause damage to any Hyde property or the environment. The cost of any damage caused by a pet will be charged to the owner/tenant.
  9. Pets must be kept under control whilst our staff, agents or contractors are visiting the property. Pets must be kept in a separate room where requested by our staff, agents or contractors.
  10. If a dog has access to a garden, you must keep the garden boundaries secure to stop the dog escaping.

Homeowners
