Keeping a Pet
We’re big fans of our furry friends!
If you're looking to move into a Loreburn home and already have a pet, this usually won't be an issue. Just make sure that you let us know on your application.
If you're living in a Loreburn home, we always ask that you contact us for permission before keeping a pet. While you don’t need written permission to keep an assistance dog, you should still let us know - as per your tenancy agreement.
When we have to say no to someone keeping a pet, we will set out, in writing, our reasons for the refusal. We have the right to refuse or revoke permission for a number, breed or type of pet if we believe that it is likely to cause a nuisance to other tenants. If this happens, we’ll work with you to find a solution.
Some animals are not allowed in Loreburn properties, and we expect tenants to keep pets under control at all times. You can read more about this in our pet policy.
