Renters reform bill could result in one million new pet owners
In a new survey, almost half of the tenants would choose to buy a pet if the new rules proposed for the landlords entered into force.
In accordance with new rules, a tenant will have to present a valid and fair reason for the reason for the reasons for a tenant who want to reject a pet demand.
According to a survey of Go Pet Insurance, more than two -fifth (42 percent) of the tenants put into force, they would choose to buy an animal or previously rejected pet demands or said they would demand one in the future.
It is estimated that the bill allows one million households to have pets when they need to enter into force between October 2025 and January 2026.
Britain’s new pet owners are likely to be divided closely between cats and dogs, more than half (56 percent) wants a cat, while 52 percent prefers a dog.
British Dog Behavior and Education Charter Lorna Winter said, “The rights of the new tenants are a big step for dog lovers and responsible pet.
“By providing unreasonable consent of the landlords and bringing domestic animal damage insurance, invoice gives tenants a more fair chance to experience the joy and lifelong benefits of sharing their homes with a dog.“
The government scrapped plans to allow homeowners in the UK to demand an extra three -week deposit to keep pets. They also reduced tenants’ pet damage insurance requirement.
According to the survey, 8 percent of them did not plan to receive any pet insurance, 18% of them were undecided, he said. If these owners choose not to be protected, it is equal to approximately 269,000 additional digits without pet insurance.
“Seeing the right bill of tenants was a really positive step for the tenants in the private leasing sector, because it would provide them more security and stability and improve the general conditions.”
“Such measures will help to make renting a more comfortable and flexible housing option for many people, which facilitate tenants to hold pets.”
