Ban pet-owner discrimination during the tenancy application process

We believe the Renters’ Rights Act protects existing tenants but fails prospective ones. We are concerned that landlords and agents routinely use pre-viewing questionnaires to screen out applicants who disclose they have a pet. Because some protections only apply after signing a contract, we feel responsible pet owners are systematically excluded before they can even view a property. We want robust measures during the application phase to ensure everyone has equal access to housing.
