However, under the terms of the lease, they must have written permission before the pet is allowed to move in. We always do our best to accommodate requests, but there are some pets which are not suitable, for example, venomous reptiles - for obvious reasons!

Homeowners are responsible for the care and wellbeing of their pet and must ensure that it does not foul or cause damage to any part of the development.
