PETS
If you want to keep a pet, you must apply to Eildon Housing Association for permission. If your home is a flat, only one pet per household is allowed.
This includes domestic pets, exotic or caged animals, poultry, ducks, pigeons, rabbits, bees or other livestock or breeding animals.
This same applies if you want to look after an animal for a limited period, such as while a relative is in hospital. You must still get permission, and only one pet per flat is allowed.
If you’re given permission to keep a pet, you must take all reasonable steps to supervise it, and keep it under control. This includes keeping dogs on a leash while outside your home but within the development. Dogs must be kept on a leash while outside your home but on Eildon Housing Association property.
Your keys are your responsibility, and Eildon Housing Association does not hold any spare keys to your property.
Make sure you have a spare key, and keep it in a safe place. If you lose
or forget a key and need to break a window or force a door, this will be expensive for you.
You need to get our permission before fitting any additional lock to your front door.
