Pet Restrictions For Leaseholds

Summary

Management companies in the UK can introduce new rules, such as pet restrictions, even if not mentioned in the lease. They should consult a solicitor for legal advice, draft clear rules, and hold a vote among leaseholders to approve the changes. If approved, lease agreements should be updated, and all residents informed of the new rules and their enforcement.
