Tenant 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

Check the superior lease. You need the superior landlord’s consent only where its terms require it; being a leaseholder does not itself create a consent requirement. If the lease prohibits the pet, or required consent has not been obtained despite reasonable steps, that may justify refusal under the statutory rules. 

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.
