Moving to the UK with pets is stressful enough. Moving with three dogs while trying to secure a rental property in London from overseas? That is a completely different level of pressure.
This lovely client was relocating from Kenya to the UK and, like many international tenants with pets, quickly discovered how difficult the UK rental market can be when animals are involved.
Between strict referencing, landlord concerns, confusing pet policies and the fear of simply being rejected because of the dogs, the anxiety started building fast.
Thankfully, Pets Lets stepped in to guide the process from start to finish, helping secure a pet-friendly rental home where the whole family, including the dogs, could settle happily.
Client Testimonial:
“Before we found Pets Lets, besides the sleepless nights and concerns that we would never find a landlord willing to rent to us in London with our 3 dogs, we were wracked with anxiety about even more dystopian possibilities of failing to find a place.
Heart attacks, mental breakdowns, losing my new job because I wouldn’t move without our fur babies — literally we went through every possible fear, both rational and irrational, until Russell & Fran saved the day.”
The Reality of Renting in London with Pets
Many tenants relocating to the UK assume finding a rental property will be straightforward if they have the budget. The reality is often very different.
Even strong applicants can struggle when:
• relocating internationally
• renting remotely
• moving with multiple pets
• competing in the London market
• navigating confusing “pets considered” listings
That is where having experienced pet-friendly property specialists on your side makes a huge difference.
