For people looking to find a rental property in the UK, finding one that is suitable for pets can be a challenge. Landlords and letting agents often have strict rules about pets in a property and while you might not have any trouble with finding a rental property that will allow fish, with animals like cats and dogs it can be a different story.
However, it is definitely not impossible to find suitable rental accommodation for you and your pet.
The first thing to do is to go to a professional local letting agent like this letting agents Bridgwater based company sykesmoore.co.uk/lettings/letting-agent/ and speak to them about your requirements. They will be able to contact landlords based on your needs – some landlords will consider pets on a case by case basis – for example, if you have a well behaved cat, they may be fine with that, but won’t want lots of big muddy dogs traipsing through their property!
Another thing is to look for agencies that specialise in pet friendly rental accommodation – there are a few of them around and it means that you can rest assured that any properties advertised will be happy to accept your pets living there.
Another option that is worth exploring, definitely if you want a relatively short term let, such as 3 – 6 months, is to look for an Air BnB – you may get better rates when staying for more than a holiday, and many of these properties are pet friendly.
