Hexagon allows tenants to keep dogs and cats with our permission. Residents will have to apply to have permission for cats and dogs, and if agreed, sign a Pet Contract that sets out certain conditions.
Small animals (for example guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters) and fish are allowed without permission as long as they cause no nuisance.
Hexagon will not normally give permission for:
- Snakes and large reptiles
- Budgerigars and other caged birds (recommended by animal welfare charities)
- Farm animals
- Dogs listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act
- More than one dog or more than 2 cats
For dogs and cats to have permission, we expect:
- The dog to be properly trained
- The home to be suited to the pet’s lifestyle, environment and physical abilities.
- For the pet not to cause nuisance to neighbours including excessive barking.
- Not to be allowed to roam in communal areas.
- The owner to immediately clean up any fouling.
- That the pet will have a collar and be micro chipped.
- That any garden to be ‘dog-proof’
- That there is someone who can look after the pet if the owner is away or in an emergency.
Hexagon reserves the right to withdraw permission for owning a pet if it causes a nuisance.
