Residential Tenancy Pet Request and Suitability Form

This Pet Request and Suitability Form is designed to help landlords gather essential information needed to assess a tenant’s request to keep a pet at a rental property. 

Why Landlords Should Use This Template

This form is designed to help landlords:

• Meet their legal duty to reasonably consider pet requests. 
• Evaluate whether the pet is appropriate for the size, layout, and condition of the property.
• Ensures tenants provide full and accurate details to support their request.
• Provides a documented trail in case of disputes or court applications

If the property is subject to a superior lease, such as in the case of leasehold properties, the landlord must obtain consent from the freeholder before granting approval. Reviewing any pet-related clauses in the head lease is important to ensure compliance with all relevant terms. 

Key Information the Form Captures

The form captures key details about the type, breed, age and size of the pet and additional practical information affecting suitability. This form should be attached to the Pet Request Acknowledgement Letter to Tenant.

By completing and returning this form promptly, tenants can assist in expediting the approval process, allowing the landlord to make an informed decision in a timely manner.
