What we did

We now ask new tenants when they move in to our properties if they have any pets and issue permits at that stage if appropriate.
We offer advice at that time about their responsibilities if they are considering getting a pet.
We publish information on pet ownership on our website, which also gives information on how to request permission, and
Our Pets Procedure instructs officers to check whether any new pets have been added to a household when they are conducting their visits.
We will contact the RSPCA or other animal welfare organisations where appropriate
Involve Public Protection Officers to impose fixed penalty charges
