Ban landlords from discriminating against pet owners.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

There should be a law that stops private landlords from stipulating that no pets are permitted by tenants.
Privately renting is difficult and expensive, but another set back for prospective tenants is the amount of landlords that do not allow pets. Responsible pet owners and their beloved pets are being discriminated against and it is unfair.

Pets are a part of the family but many people are having to give up their pets in order to find a rental property. This is a disgrace.
