Renters Rights Bill to Boost Pet Ownership
The Renters Rights Bill has completed its progress through Parliament and is set to become law, granting new rights to tenants in rented accommodation who want to keep pets.
The legislation will prevent landlords from imposing blanket bans on keeping pets in rented accommodation. Instead, they will be required to accept tenants with pets unless they have a good reason not to.
Progress of the Bill was delayed due to amendments aimed at protecting landlords from pet-related property damage costs.
No good reason to reject tenants with pets
