Pets in your council home

You must ensure any animal at the property is under control, so they do not cause a danger, nuisance or annoyance to your neighbours or anyone visiting the property or the locality, including our staff, agents or contractors.

You are responsible for pets and animals kept at your address, including times that you are not at home, and they must not cause a nuisance or disturbance to other residents at any time.

You, your family, or anyone living with you or visiting your home must not do any of the following:

• Keep any animal at the property which requires our written permission without first getting permission
• Keep any animals for commercial breeding purposes
• Leave faeces in your garden, in shared areas or outside the property (on roads, footpaths or public spaces such as play areas) produced by any animal which you keep at the property – faeces must be cleaned up immediately

You must inform us if you bring a pet/dog into the UK and provide evidence that the animal has received the relevant vaccinations (parvovirus and rabies virus).
