Pets and Pests
Your tenancy agreement with Paragon allows you to keep certain types of animals as a pet. Cats and dogs are fine, but do check that if you are getting a pet that keeping of that type of animal isn’t against the law. If you want to get a dog, for example, make sure it’s breed not outlawed by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and be aware of the law around XL Bully types.
Paragon encourages responsible pet ownership. Don’t let your pet become a nuisance
to your neighbours and don’t allow it to foul your house or your close or open spaces around your home where children might play.
If you get an insect infestation in your house let us know and we will take the necessary action. Don’t touch birds nests, wasps nests, and leave bats in your loft well alone. Bats are a protected species. More than anything else, there are laws in place which stop you interfering with nests. If you are aware of any in your house contact us at Paragon and let us deal with it.
