The purring heart of the home, a pet cat helps tenants feel happier and more likely to stay for longer, which is good news for landlords.

It’s common for tenancies to contain blanket ‘no pets’ policies but with more and more people now renting, this means landlords are missing out on a huge pool of responsible tenants who would treat properties as a valued home.

Whether you’re a tenant, a private landlord or a social housing provider, there’s plenty of reasons why cats make the perfect pets for rented homes.
