I’m about to relocate from a house share to a large studio flat.

The landlord didn’t specifically state no pets allowed but I signed a standard contract with a no pets clause. In theory no landlord can refuse my rabbit due to the allotments act, but as that act has never been tested in court, I’d rather keep my rabbit’s presence discreet.

I’m going to ask my hay provider to delivery hay in a discreet black bag instead of the usual transparent bag. Will also order a large closet to hide my rabbit in during inspections, and also go for a rabbit hutch that looks like a closet. I’ll just put clothes on the top hanging down to cover the mesh wire parts.

Where I have lived for several years, there’s been no damage at all caused by my rabbit due to good bun behaviour and close supervision. I’m going to keep my rabbit in the hutch when I’m at work and free range when I’m at home.

If my landlord inspects, I can turn on the radio and laptop or fan etc to create enough non-suspicious background noise to block out any noise my rabbit might make.

I’m also going to switch the type of carrier I use to a more discreet one.

It’s all planned out, I’m not going to abandon my buddy.
