Many tenants who own at least one pet have struggled to find pet-friendly accommodation, and yet despite efforts to encourage more landlords to accepts renters with pets, this remains an issue nationwide.
Fresh research by Sellhousefast.uk shows that most renters continue to have difficulty finding pet-friendly accommodation, mainly because the majority of landlords are unhappy about tenants keeping pets and refuse to allow them as a matter of course.
But the study, based on extracting data from Zoopla during the month of September 2019, has discovered some of the most pet-friendly London boroughs.
