Smile Dog Friendly House / Flat UK

Hello All,
I want to ask your advice... I currently live abroad (EU) but will be moving back to the UK in September to live. I will be renting and so far I have not heard very positive things regarding renting a Flat or house and owning a dog. I don’t own a dog as yet but I have wanted to all my life and I feel I am coming to a time when I will take the plunge... so I wonder could anyone give me advice? Any Ideas regarding the city good places to live / Parks etc? I would be working in the centre.

Well Ideally I would go for the city centre but I can be flexible if it would mean I could find a dog friendly place... If you know the city I would like to be within about 10 mins of the mains station..

Re: Dog Friendly House / Flat Leeds UK

I have a vague knowledge of the City as my son went to uni there. As op have already said most rented accommodation is not pet friendly, especially in the cities. Leeds has a good public transport system, so you would maybe be able to look further afield. There is an area called Hyde Park, which has lots of rentals, it is near the uni, so a lot of them are student or exstudent lets, there is lots of open space, but I don't know if dogs are allowed off lead there, I assume they would be as Leeds council seem reasonably dog friendly.

Temple Newsome park is on the outskirts of Leeds, it is a very popular dog walking area, but the housing around it looks quite posh to me, so I think rentals would unlikely to be available in that area.

There is also roundhay park, another very large area where you can walk dogs, and I'm afraid that is the sum total of my knowledge. Good luck in finding somewhere.

Many thanks for the info, I will have a look for a place in the Hyde park area. If you or your son know anyone who might be looking for a tenant I would very much appreciate a nod in my direction.

Thumbs up Re: Dog Friendly House / Flat Leeds UK

Hi Ferret

Hows it going. Findind properties to rent that allows pets....what a challenge. I'vedone it loads. It is hard. In Leeds unfortunately I cant assist as I am now looking to rent my property specifically to pet owners............and I don't know where to find them. I have recently come across a website, you might have heard of it. Pet Friendly Rentals - pets welcome property & UK holiday accommodation to rent
I did a general search for Leeds but didn't find anything, that said there is a Tennants section so maybe you could place your own ad......not sure. There is also a site called Property Rent - Letmatch | House rent, Apartment rent, flat rent, free property advertising, property let, house let, flat let, room to rent, UK Nationwide rentals, free letting advertising, free rental advertising, 100% free for landlords and lettin and I'm almost certain you could place an add here.
Good luck mate and kinow that there are land lords that will rent their property to pet owners.........you just have to seek us out.

Re: Dog Friendly House / Flat Leeds UK

Just as a breif aside, I believe it is a breach of your human rights to refuse to allow tennants to keep pets, especially cats & dogs.

Obviously there should be provisions made for damage to carpets & cleaning etc, which should be made in the contract at the time you take out the tennancy, but I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to point blank refuse.

I'd have to check everything though on that, and it's not likely that they'll allow you to move in if you start negotiations with "it's a breach of my human rights"

It's always worth asking if you're allowed to keep pets, if you can come to some kind of arrangement to pay for repairs / damage, and always offer to clean the carpets when / if you move out. That'd be where I would start. Most property owners are reasonable people, and if you're offering that to start with, most would probably be OK with it.

As to locations, Temple Newsam as mentioned above, is absolutely beautiful.. there you're not too far from places like crossgates, which is a fairly cheap area to rent, as far as I know anyway

No it's not breach of human rights. It's just the landlords rules. Just because rules don't fit doesn't mean they break human rights laws....political correctness gone mad.

If I let out property I would refuse people to have animals in the property also.

What about smokers/dss/housing benefit/students who are refused rental?
