A Landlord Guide to Vetting Tenants with Pets

• What type of pet(s) do you have and how many?
• Are you able to provide a reference from a previous Landlord or a professional such as a Vet?
• Are your pets vaccinated and treated for fleas and worms?

For cats:

• Is your cat trained with a litter tray?
• Does your cat go outside or is it a house cat?
• Will you need a cat flap?

For dogs:

• Do you regularly exercise your dog?
• Is your dog left a lot at home alone?
• Is your dog toilet trained? Has your dog attended behaviour training classes?

Ask for a Pet Reference

If you are uncertain about letting to tenants with pets, ask for a pet reference from their previous Landlord.

The key points are as follows:

• How long did you live in your previous property with your pet?
• Was the tenant a responsible pet owner?
• Were the pets well behaved and was there any damage? Did anyone complain about the pets?
