Private Rented Housing: Pets
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to their A Fairer Private Rented Sector white paper, published on 16 June 2022, whether they intend to introduce legislation to allow more people to be able to own a pet in their rented home; and if so, when.
- Answer
-
The Government has committed to giving tenants the right to request a pet that the landlord must consider and cannot unreasonably refuse. We will amend the Tenant Fees Act 2019 so that landlords can require insurance to cover damage to their property caused by pets. We will legislate as soon as parliamentary time allows.
