You need written permission
Get Living ask before you bring a pet home. It’s a form, not a negotiation, and it usually takes a few days.
A pet addendum joins your tenancy
It sets out numbers, types and your responsibility for damage. Ask for a copy before you sign.
Damage comes out of your deposit
Scratched doors and carpets are the common ones. Photograph the flat when you move in.
Written by residents from Get Living’s published policy. If yours is a Triathlon or Notting Hill Genesis home, check with them — the rules differ.
