One in 10 pet-owning tenants are currently “hiding” an animal from a landlord – with another quarter admitting they’ve done so in the past.
A study of 1,000 adults, who have ever rented and owned a pet at the same time, found 10 per cent are living with a furry friend despite it being banned as part of their rental agreement.
A further 25 per cent have done so in the past – resulting in tenants feeling anxious (52 per cent), worried (45 per cent), and guilty (28 per cent).
