These are the strictures of the lease and the building is pet-friendly, however, please note the following information and polite requests contained within the May 2015 Pet Policy:

LIMEHOUSE CUT PET POLICY

Please may we respectfully remind all Leaseholders and residents of the obligations and responsibilities of not only their lease but also to the community of Limehouse Cut, in particular, with regard to the keeping of pets.

We acknowledge that there are many responsible pet owners within the building and thank them for their diligence in ensuring their pets do not cause a nuisance to other residents or to foul areas within and around the Limehouse Cut building.

However, may we draw your attention to the rules and regulations pertaining to pets:

1. All dogs to be kept on short leads at all times within the common parts of the building and within the area forming the Spratt's complex and where legally required, muzzled.

2. Dogs are not allowed on the roof terrace.

3. Dogs are to be exercised outside of the complex.

4. Dogs are not allowed in the lift. When taking dogs in or out of the building, pet owners must use the stairs to exit and enter the floors of the building. It is recognised that there may be instances where residents with pets are unable to use the stairs. The Management Company will consider reasonable written requests for an exemption for use of the lift by pet owners who have difficulty using the stairs, to transport animals. Your co-operation in this is respectfully requested. (Please contact the Managing Agents, Rendall & Rittner, direct for the attention of the Limehouse Cut Property Manager) This policy may be reviewed from time to time.

5. Particular care to be taken when walking dogs in or out of the building and in confined spaces such as the corridors to ensure the safety and comfort of other residents. Not all residents are comfortable with animals and pet owners are requested to respect this.

6. Note, the keeping of pets is not strictly prohibited, however;

• 1. Written agreement must be obtained from the Limehouse Cut Management Company to allow any resident (whether Leaseholder or tenant) prior to keeping a pet within the building. A pet register is maintained by the Managing Agents. Please see accompanying Pet Registration form.

  2. It is the responsibility of Leaseholders who allow pets in their rental property to ensure tenants are informed of this requirement and Leaseholders must ensure that their tenants obtain this permission from the Management Company prior to signing the rental lease.

  3. Leases do provide that any bird, reptile or animal causing a nuisance to other Lessees will have to be removed.

Should further information be required regarding the relevant clauses in the lease, please contact the Managing Agents.

Whilst it is appreciated that pets provide companionship and security for many residents, pet owners are responsible for ensuring that their animals do not cause any nuisance. This includes noise disturbances, fouling and urinating and distress through unruly behaviour. Other residents, who do not have experience of your particular pet, cannot know if a certain behaviour is aggressive or not and it is, therefore, of paramount importance that pet owners remain respectful of other residents.

We should be grateful if all residents would kindly note the above and that, where necessary, steps will be taken to ensure these requests are enforced. Your co-operation is very much appreciated.
