Management company pet fees

[anonymous-user]

We rent a detached property and have a dog. If you're happy to let your tenants have a pet, that's great! As a pet owner, personally, paying the £75 wouldn't be an issue.

If you can't pass on the cost that's unfortunate as it's a tenant request and not 'essential'. Even if you can't pass on the cost, there may be some other arrangement that the tenant is willing to pay.

This landlord does not consider £75 to be an extortionate fee...

For what? Somebody to rubber stamp it and add it to the file? Bargain.

As for the rest of it, children are more likely to cause issues than pets.

I've never been a landlord, but wouldn't tenants have to notify landlords that they've acquired children? How does it work if you're renting a 1-bed flat and then you're expecting? At some point you'll outgrow the flat and surely overcrowding becomes a concern.

The only time I've ever rented was in London and I'm pretty sure the tenancy agreement stipulated any change in residents had to agreed with the landlord. Being a group of young chaps flat-sharing none of us were considering starting families during our tenancy so it wasn't really a concern, but when I moved out to the sticks I came off the lease and my replacement had to go through the checks and get added on.

This is just one of those things that comes with leasehold properties. As another example, when I wanted to replace the original windows in my flat I needed the written permission of the directors before I could proceed.

I don't think too many tenants consider changing the windows!!

Not AST tenants but long term leaseholders...

Yes, I'm aware of that, and that was my point. The whole thread was about tenants, I don't know where the leasehold bit came from.
