The rental housing market in Kropyvnytskyi remains active in 2025. Demand is consistently high, especially among internally displaced persons from frontline regions who are seeking a safe place for themselves and their pets. Apartment owners are increasingly receiving requests to allow pets, and this is no longer an exception but a new reality.
“Right now, more than ever, there is an urgent need for housing where people can live with their pets, which they are also evacuating from frontline cities. I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage property owners not to turn away people with pets,” said Nataliya Kyselova, head of the Kropyvnytskyi branch of the Ukrainian Real Estate Specialists Association (URESA), in an interview with Humanitarian Media Hub.
She added that in most cases, there are no issues with tenants when pet owners take proper care of their animals. That’s why she urges landlords not to refuse tenants with furry companions — it’s not only a humane gesture but also a response to a real market demand.
