Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made towards increasing the availability of pet-friendly housing for people renting their homes.
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.
