Across the UK, finding a suitable rented home can be more challenging for pet owners, especially when landlords are concerned about potential damage, noise, or cleaning costs. Battersea identifies housing as one of the main reasons animals are given up to its care, but the perceived risks of allowing pets can differ from the reality. Our new Renting with pets guide sets out practical ways to assess requests, manage risks, and build clear agreements that support successful tenancies.
Propertymark’s Private Tenancy Agreement template is designed for use in Northern Ireland under the Private Tenancies (NI) Order 2006, as amended by the 2022 Act, which introduced new requirements around tenancy information, deposits and safety standards.
The Law Commission’s latest proposals aim to make business tenancy renewals clearer, quicker, and better suited to the modern commercial property market. While we welcome most of the proposed changes, we have highlighted important caveats where caution is needed to prevent a rise in disputes and to ensure that all parties have adequate protections.
The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026 includes measures to prohibit upward-only rent reviews in new business leases in England and Wales. Propertymark supports measures that help businesses access suitable premises and contribute to stronger high streets. However, changes to commercial lease structures must also maintain confidence for landlords and investors who fund, maintain, and improve commercial property.
