We’re currently reviewing our Responsible Pet Policy, and we’re inviting customers to have their say as part of this consultation. 

Your feedback will help us shape the policy and ensure it reflects the needs of our customers and communities before it is finalised. 

This policy sets out our approach to responsible pet ownership across Magenta Living homes. We recognise that pets can have a positive impact on wellbeing, and we support customers who wish to keep pets -provided they are well cared for and do not negatively impact neighbours. 

Because this policy affects how pets are kept in our homes and communities, it’s important that it is clear, fair and easy to understand. 

Why we’re asking for your feedback 

This is an existing policy that we’re reviewing to make sure it remains relevant, consistent and aligned with current guidance. 

While owning a pet can bring many benefits, irresponsible ownership can cause nuisance and affect others. This policy helps us strike the right balance between supporting pet ownership and maintaining safe, respectful neighbourhoods. 

The policy sets out: 

  • How customers can request permission to keep a pet 

  • What responsible pet ownership looks like 

  • How we manage situations where pets may cause nuisance or disruption 

  • How we make fair and consistent decisions 

For the purpose of this policy, a pet is defined as any domesticated or tamed animal kept as a companion and cared for responsibly. 

Where the policy applies 

The policy applies to social and affordable homes owned and managed by Magenta Living. 

It does not apply to leaseholders or shared owners. 

Why your feedback matters 

We want to make sure this policy works for our customers and communities. By taking part, you’ll help us: 

  • Check that the policy is clear and easy to understand 

  • Ensure expectations around pet ownership are fair and reasonable 

  • Make sure our approach feels consistent and proportionate 

  • Reflect the experiences and needs of our communities 

Your feedback will help us make sure we’re supporting customers while maintaining positive neighbourhoods.
