Can a pet stay overnight in a rented property

2woodward2

I know this is a legal question but can anyone help.
My daughter wants to have a dog stay overnight (2 days maybe and also more in the future) in her rented flat. I haven't seen the lease yet but I know it states that no pets are allowed. She lives at the top of a 6 flat building and her neighbours are not the most friendliest. For example 1 of them complained to my daughters lenting agency for her having the music too loud and waking her baby, which it was at a, I think normal level. I understand, but she could have just knocked on the door with the request.
What could happen if the lenting agent or landlord knows about this and is she allowed dogs to visit without violating her lease agreement.
Am I worrying too much as a father.
Thanks for any response.

If the lease says no pets, then that means for stay overs too.

I lived in such a property and had friends with pets stay, with no problem, but I never had complaints about noise either, so imo not a good idea to give the neighours another reason to ring the LL.

Loud music and barking dogs, I think you are right to worry.

I would advise your daughter to avoid having pets staying over until she is able to move somewhere a bit more 'pet friendly'. Having a dog in an upstairs flat with no free access to the outside is really not ideal. She'll be doing some extra cleaning up lol. She needs to think this through.

Why does a dog need to say over? Or does the dog come along with a man?

If so and the relationship flourishes she'll want a dog staying there seven days a week.

I think she needs to move somewhere more pet friendly so that her tenancy doesn't conflict with her love of dogs (and/or boyfriends).

ok..so I am a LL...
I have a flat whereby in the leasehold agreement that I have with the management company it states that pets are not allowed....therfore when I let the property the contract that is between myself and the tenant states no pets....not overnighters...no pets.

I have another flat where the main lease allows animals for an additional fee and subject to management company approval....
I choose to advise tenants that my agreement with them is still no pets.

What is the situation regarding pets in the properties that your daughter rents....if it says no pets then that is the case,and she will be in breech of contract for keeping one at the flat.

Sometimes its not the letting agent or indeed the LL that specify the no pet rule its acually part of the lease for the building meaning that not just tenants but owners have to comply too....so it may not even be a case of asking the LL for permission as they wont be able to grant it.

Check the lease...but be prepared for a no or indeed if the dog is important then look for a property that will accommodate it in the manner it needs.

The actual wording of the no pets clause on my lease is that I am not to permit animals to enter the property. What does hers say?

In addition to all the other comments, bear in mind that if your daughter does get a pet, and is subsequently given notice to leave, she may well find it far harder to rent a new property if she has a pet already.
