His overall policy has basically been "Britain will be all right if we follow the rules" and no broader vision, no wonder that's not enthusing many people.

Dear thread, can I please ask a little advice regarding my tenancy. I asked my landlord (via estate agent) if I could get a pet and they said no, referring to a clause in the TA (which was dated up until Jan 2021). Said clause reads "not to keep on the Property or any part of it any poultry or livestock and not to keep any other animals on the Property without consent in writing from the Landlord or his agent. The Landlord may not unreasonably withhold such consent, but if the Landlord gives consent to keep an animal at the Property this consent may be granted subject to conditions, including an increase in the Rent, and the consent may be withdrawn at any time with proper notice and reasonable justification." No reason given, reasonable or otherwise. I feel as though I should challenge this but just need a little confirmation that I'd be right to do so? Is this clause actually worth anything or am I just asking for a "lol still no" from them?

^^^ if you challenge it, the 'good reason' will be the damage to the floors / carpet from claws. That isn't actually a good reason, but it's the one they'll argue knowing you can't afford to fight it in court. If your landlord doesn't want you to have a pet, don't expect to be able to argue contract to get one. Get one anyway, but be ready to have a neighbour or friend you can shift it off to when they come round to do inspections. willie_dee posted:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...MP=share_btn_tw quote:Another judge, Mr Justice Tugendhat, hearing a different part of the case that year, made a peculiar reference to James Bond to provide context for the behaviour of the police, arguing that the fictional spy’s behaviour showed how the intelligence services had for years used “officers to form personal relationships of an intimate sexual nature … in order to obtain information or access”. The women were treated dismissively during a home affairs select committee hearing. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 15:01 on May 11, 2022 |

My friends been lying to landlords for over a decade about his cat and only been caught once, and even then he just argued the cat belonged to some neighbour but sometimes just comes in through the window. He has the safety net of family he could temporarily move in with worse case scenario though so he's happy with the risk.

I think I just bought a house, which is quite a relief to know that I hopefully won't need to deal with petty landlords and letting agents much longer. There is a title condition thats states a maximum of one dog and /or cat can be kept on the premises, but lol if I'm going to pay heed to that bullshit on an ex council scheme.

Introduced to Parliament last year by Conservative MP for Romford, Andrew Rosindell, it proposes to make it a right for tenants to have domestic animals in rental properties. What pet do you want and what is the property like? Is it suitable for the pet? I guess cite examples of other people in similar properties that have pets. Their reason for refusal is supposed to be reasonable.

Their reason for refusal is supposed to be reasonable. I've mentioned either a cat or small dog to them. It's a regular bungalow really, nothing about it that makes it unsuitable for pets. On a quiet cul de sac, loads of my neighbours have pets. I've made my case in an email to them, initially they just said "no pets as per clause" but the clause doesn't actually say no pets, it says consent may not be unreasonably withheld. So I've made that point, among others. Like Bobby D said, I'm sure they'll come up with some petty reason and it'll be a back and forth of them just saying no in different ways and, as intended, I'll be powerless to actually force their hand.
