Prevent discrimination of tenants or potential tenants with pets

Closed 3,916 signatures

What the petition asks

I’d like the Government to prevent discrimination of tenants and potential tenants with pets, including by preventing landlords from including a “no pets allowed” clause in tenancy agreements.
It is completely unfair that a person and/or family can be refused accommodation based on the fact they have a pet. Most of the time people only have a small dog or cat, and it can be incredibly difficult to find accommodation as it is let alone with this clause in place.
