If you live in a house, bungalow or ground floor flat with access to your own garden, you can keep one dog or cat, or one of each without asking our permission. This is subject to the terms in our leaflet below "keeping pets in your council home". You are not allowed to keep, either in your home or in any communal areas that you share with other tenants, any animals that we think are a source of nuisance or distress toother residents. To apply to keep pets please read our leaflets below and use our downloadable or online application to keep pets.
