I want you to allow people in council flats to be aloud pets with in reason

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like you to scrap section 5.11 animals as it’s not fair and it’s not right people in flats can look after a animal just as well if not better than someone with a garden it’s discrimination! And as probably half the uk suffer with mental health and loneliness studys show having a pet helps

Having a pet gives people a purpose and a routine and significantly reduces suicide and gets people out and active in the community pets can reduce anxiety and stress pets are a key tool for people with mental health and as long as people take care of them accordingly then anybody should be aloud one! No more discrimination

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

There is no national law against social housing tenants having pets. This would be a matter for individual local authorities.
