Sheffield Council Properties - pets (cat) in flats policy

[Aqua 10]

I've been on the council waiting list for just over 5 years and don't have a chance of being first in line for a house - I've bid on several and I'm usually about 30th in line! I'd be more than happy with a flat and they often have no other bidders so I'd be first in line, however I have a cat. Am I right in thinking they don't allow ANY pets in flats, or is it just dogs?

Mod hat off

 

you can generally have caged pets (birds, hamsters etc,) but not cats or dogs.

It's all around 'outdoor' pets and communal entrances. For example, a ground floor flat may state no pets allowed, but if the property can be accessed via another door other than the communal entrance then they may allow you to keep cats or dogs.

 

Ask, is my advice.

I'm looking out for a ground floor one, preferably a maisonette with it's own entrance, so when one comes up, I'll ask about the cat issue. Thanks both.
