The changes are part of the Government’s commitment to improve forces housing.
The new measures, announced last month, will apply to more than 2,500 military houses in the region.
The changes come after the Strategic Defence Review, which committed more than £1.5 billion extra for forces family housing.
The reforms are part of a new Consumer Charter, which the Government says will cut red tape and make it easier for families to own pets, decorate properties, and run businesses from their homes.
Defence Secretary John Healey MP said: “Our Armed Forces make extraordinary sacrifices to keep us safe every day.
“But for too long, military families have lived in substandard housing without basic consumer rights.
“These new measures are a key milestone as we deliver on our Consumer Charter to stop the rot in military accommodation and ensure our heroes and their loved ones live in houses they can truly call home.”
One of the key changes is the removal of the lengthy approval process for owning pets.
Military families will now be able to keep up to two dogs, cats, or smaller pets without needing permission.
Minister for Veterans and People, Al Carns, said: “As a dog owner and Royal Marine who served for 24 years, much of it in Service accommodation, I’m delighted to be making it easier for our dedicated personnel to own family pets.”
The reforms will also streamline processes for family members running a business from home, and they will be given the name of a housing officer who can offer advice and support.
In the future, families will also have more freedom to decorate their houses.
The improvements are part of a wider investment of more than £7 billion in military accommodation.
