Hi Emma, thanks for raising this. We understand how important it is for tenants to find a home where their pets are welcome.

Just to clarify, the Renters' Rights Act gives existing tenants the right to request a pet, but this doesn't extend to prospective tenants. Landlords can therefore indicate whether they accept pets when advertising, as there may be circumstances where restrictions apply.

That said, tenants can still enquire about these properties and speak directly with the landlord about their circumstances.

We want to make finding a suitable home as easy as possible, which is why we've included an "Accept Pets" filter in our property search. Around 30% of properties on OpenRent allowed pets in 2025. 💙🐶😺
