Require providers of temporary accommodation to allow pets

Closed 47 signatures

What the petition asks

Please end this horrific trauma of being forced to re-home pets, while in desperate need of temporary accommodation.

The impact of being forcibly told, we have no choice, may affect the rest of our lives, to give up our beloved companions. Especially our Emotional Support Animals!
Please give us some protection.
Many live with animals that cause no damage, no problems, and are very well behaved.
Landlords could take photos of before and after, (regular property checks) fines could apply for pets that cause disturbance or destruction, many things could be done to ensure the nuisance type pets are kept away from temporary accommodations. We think vet checks and pet insurance should be required. Pets, may be our only comfort, with long term illnesses. We think to take our only comfort away from us, is particularly unfair.
