- Ask your landlord’s permission to keep a pet (England)For a private tenant in England. Since 1 May 2026 a tenant may ask in writing to keep a pet, and the landlord must answer in writing within 28 days and must not refuse unreasonably (section 16A of the Housing Act 1988, added by the Renters’ Rights Act 2025). The letter describes the animal and how it will be cared for, offers references and asks for a written decision, with reasons if it is a refusal. If the landlord asks for more information, or for a superior landlord’s consent, the deadline can move to seven days after the reply. No pet fee or separate pet deposit may be charged.
- Ask your landlord for consent to sublet or take in a lodger (England)For a private tenant in England who wants to take in a lodger, or sublet a room or the whole home. Most tenancy agreements require the landlord’s written consent first, and subletting without it can breach the tenancy and become a ground for possession. The letter says what you ask for, who would move in, where and for how long, confirms you stay responsible for the rent and will do the right to rent check, and asks for an answer within 14 days. Not for council or housing association tenants, for whom unlawful subletting can be a criminal offence.
- Leaseholder’s request for a summary of service charge costs (England and Wales)For a leaseholder of a flat or house in England or Wales who pays a variable service charge and wants to see how it is spent. Under sections 21 and 22 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 the letter asks the landlord or managing agent for a written summary of the costs for a service charge year and, if you already have a summary or the year-end accounts, for facilities to inspect the accounts, receipts and other supporting documents and take copies. Failing without reasonable excuse to comply is an offence. The Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE) publishes free model letters.
