Private Rented Housing: Pets
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment the Department has made of the potential merits of placing an obligation on superior landlords to not unreasonably refuse a request to keep a pet from a tenant through an immediate landlord.
- Answer
-
The Renters (Reform) Bill will ensure that private landlords cannot unreasonably refuse a request from their tenant to keep a pet. The Bill provides added flexibility where they need to obtain consent of a superior landlord when considering a request.
