As a responsible landlord, we also aim to promote responsible dog ownership. Customers who own an XL Bully dog must apply for a ‘Certificate of Exemption’ to legally keep their pet beyond 31st January 2024.

Full details about how to apply for this certificate are on the government website: Prepare for the ban on XL Bully dogs - GOV.UK.  
 
You will be committing a criminal offence and breaching your tenancy agreement if you do not hold a Certification of Exemption on 1 February 2024.

From 31st December 2023 in England it will also be against the law to:

• sell an XL Bully dog.
• abandon an XL Bully dog or let it stray.
• give away an XL Bully dog.
• breed from an XL Bully dog.
• have an XL Bully in public without a lead and muzzle.
