Hi Edwin, As I said, I may have been fortunate in that I have never had a problem with pets., and as you say, some have done afterwards and that is a difficult one. The tenant is in breach, but if they are looking after the property and paying the rent, we are all guilty of turning a blind eye. I am all for leaving the position as status quo and it should be an individual landlords discretion to allow pets, but at present I will continue to do so. Best we have had (and still have ) is 19 years with 3 dogs in that period. Always pays on time and has never been a problem. Worst, single professional man who worked for one of the big four banks. Within weeks, had many complaints from the neighbours and the rent stopped flowing within months. Knew all the tricks to delay leaving, but clever enough in that all he left with was a bad reference. As I was never asked for one in the future, he even had that even covered. In this game, I think it is some we win, some we lose, but as long as the gains are significantly above the loses, I am happy

As an experienced landlord over more years than I care to remember, I have always allowed pets (some breeds of dogs excluded). The deposit is set higher, but generally you get a good quality of tenant and I have yet to have a problem.

I now only accept tenants who can provide a guarantor who has liquidity, usually parents,

I am now very strict on references and will only take permanently employed who can offer rent guarantees from home owning relatives such as parents.

Great idea, ban all short term lets and the council end up with a huge bill to accommodate homeless families. What about the thousands of lets that are causing no problem and housing people. Do these councillors ever engage brains, or just the generous salary and expenses schemes.

But surely any responsible landlord was doing this every 5 years in any case, so what is new?

The law society really should keep its nose out of politics especially to a market that gives so much money to law firms one way or another

I have had tenants who have smelt worse than some pets and cause more damage

Had the same with one of mine, which I found by chance just browsing AirBnB. I did not give them an option, but just served notice on be gone. I did contact AirBnB but despite reminders, did not even get the courtesy of a reply.

I spend many holidays in Scotland and think its a lovely place and the Scottish people are good fun to be with. But I would not trust the SNP and their policies (just look at windturbines) so will stay South of the Border
