Hey! I am currently renting in Glasgow with my lovely flatmate and dog, but I need to move out in July. I know how bad the renting situation is in Glasgow is right now so wanted to jump on it early. This is my first time moving since adopting my dog, and I have noticed almost no properties will even give me a viewing if I so much as mention my furry pal, saying the landlord doesn’t allow pets. I know the renters rights bill came in here in 2025, but I’m wondering if this still applies if you haven’t signed a tenancy agreement?
This is making it a real struggle to find a new place to live and my deadline is slowly approaching. Any ideas or suggestions would be super appreciated!
For any further info: I’m a young professional with a decent job, decent savings, good credit score, and years worth of glowing landlord references. My dog is older, medium sized, fully house trained, doesn’t shed, and quiet with exception to people knocking on my door.
