Pets

At Supported Living Services, we understand that pets are an important part of many people’s lives. We welcome responsible pet ownership within our properties while also ensuring the safety, comfort, and well-being of all residents. To maintain a harmonious living environment, we have established the following pet policy:

How I need permission?

1. Residents must request permission from Supported Living Services before bringing any pets into the property. This request can be made by filling out the designated pet permission form available from the property management office or through our online portal.

Policy

Pet Approval Process: Upon receiving a pet permission request, Supported Living Services will review the request and assess its suitability based on factors including but not limited to:

• Type and breed of the pet
• Size and weight of the pet
• Pet’s vaccination and health records
• Pet’s behaviour and temperament
• Potential impact on other residents and the property

1. Residents must request permission from Supported Living Services before bringing any pets into the property. This request can be made by filling out the designated pet permission form available from the property management office or through our online portal.
2. Pet Deposit and Fees: Residents with approved pets may be required to pay a pet deposit and/or monthly pet rent as outlined in their tenancy agreement. These fees are non-refundable and are used to cover any damages or additional cleaning necessitated by the presence of the pet.
3. Pet Responsibilities: Pet owners are responsible for ensuring that their pets do not cause disturbances or nuisances to other residents. This includes keeping pets under control at all times, cleaning up after them, and abiding by any community rules regarding pets.
4. Pet Restrictions: Supported Living Services reserves the right to impose restrictions on certain types or breeds of pets deemed incompatible with the property’s environment or potentially hazardous to residents. These restrictions will be communicated to residents during the pet approval process.
5. Violations: Failure to comply with the terms of this pet policy may result in fines, eviction, or other appropriate actions as outlined in the tenancy agreement and local regulations.
6. Assistance Animals: Assistance animals, as defined by the Equality Act 2010, are not considered pets and are therefore exempt from this pet policy. Reasonable accommodations will be made for residents with disabilities who require the assistance of an assistance animal.
7. Changes to Pet Ownership: Residents must notify Supported Living Services promptly if there are any changes to their pet ownership status, including acquiring a new pet or rehoming an existing one. Permission must be obtained for any new pets brought into the property.

By requesting permission to keep a pet within our properties, residents acknowledge their understanding and agreement to abide by the terms and conditions outlined in this pet policy. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable living environment for all residents.

Supported Living Services reserves the right to amend or update this pet policy as necessary to ensure the continued well-being of our community.
