Pets Lets

A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

We’re joined by Estate Agent and Landlord, Russell Hunt whose company, PetsLets, specifically focuses on finding properties for people with pets. We chat about why the conversation about renting pet friendly accommodation as fallen off the ‘radar’ of late.

We discuss why it is important that whichever party wins the upcoming election, they will prioritise the Renters Reform Bill particularly where the clause section 21 is concerned that currently gives powers to Landlords for short notice terminations and evictions.

Despite over half of Briton’s owning a dog, renting with pets is still considered a niche market, with many estate agents focusing on lets without pets, rather than thinking more inclusively.

We chat about the pros and cons of additional insurance, and why unfortunately some landlords may have been disappointed by irresponsible owners and as with everything it's the minority that spoils it for the majority.

Russell explains that the issue is partly down to supply and demand, and that often Landlords accept the highest bidder that appears to be the lowest maintenance for the property. We segue and talk about Leasehold properties too and why before agreeing to any purchase or rent, ensure that your dog’s name, is on the lease!
