Some properties are subject to local pet agreements. You need approval if you would like to keep a dog or a cat and you live in a self-contained flat or maisonette or you want to run a pet related business from home. If you live in Retirement accommodation you need approval if you would like to keep any pet. In all cases approval to keep a dog will require the signing of a Responsible Dog Agreement.  A permission form and Responsible Dog Agreement are available to download.
