Pets in your council home

Can I have Pets in my council home?

If you live in a property with its own private, direct access (ie, you do not share this space with another household) you may keep one cat or a dog without getting our permission, subject to the conditions listed below.

You must not keep an animal that requires outdoor space in a property which can only be accessed through a shared entrance unless it is a registered guide dog, a registered hearing dog or an assistance dog.

If you wish to keep any other type of animal, or more than one cat or dog you will need to request permission.
