    I am assuming these rabbits are not actually pets....

    I would personally recommend very, very slow growing and maturing might be your choice.... ;)

    If the "land" is not an allotment, I don't see how the Allotments Act applies. Also, I think we can infer that the animals in question are livestock, not pets.

    Many/most new build flats have some kind of restriction on pets within their Leases.

    There are two main types:-

    - Banning certain (or all) pets.
    - Requiring permission to keep certain (or all) pets.

    There are two ways to go, from the POV of a leaseholder:-

    - Ignore the lease and wait to see what enforcement action might follow (if any).
    - Do as the lease requires, including moving home or getting rid of the pet(s).

    Have you read the relevant section of the Act?

    As said and repeated, the legal position is quite clear.

    Since it's been posted here, I think the answer is safely "Yes".

    IYHO.

    Presumably as a leaseholder, the land does not belong to the tenant and therefore the allotment act does not apply, with them being constrained to whatever the freeholder permits.

    All I can say that if the Law provides a carte blanche right to keep Hens & Rabbits in a flat irrespective of other contractual obligations, such that someone could do this for mischief or spite.... then the law is an Equus africanus asinus (to spare the blushes of the rudewordinator).

    I suspect, though, that it doesn't.

    Because it refers to "any land", not "allotments".

    Yes, I understand that that is the argument. I'm just not convinced it's true.
