Renting with Dogs in London

Finding dog-friendly rentals in London is challenging but not impossible: **The Law:** The Model Tenancy Agreement now makes it harder for landlords to blanket-ban pets. You have the right to request, and they should respond within 28 days. **Negotiating:** Offer a higher deposit, references from previous landlords, and evidence your dog is well-behaved and insured. **Where to Look:** OpenRent, SpareRoom (filter for pet-friendly), and estate agents - be upfront about having a dog. **Good Areas:** Properties with gardens are more likely to allow dogs. Areas like Hackney, Peckham, and outer boroughs have more options. **Tips:** Get pet permission in writing. Consider pet insurance that covers property damage. Keep the place immaculate to protect your deposit.
