Zero Deposit CEO Sam Reynolds (pictured) (pictured) says that landlords have not changed their “anti-pet” habits, despite the renter's rights bill making rejection of dogs and cats much more difficult.
This is because the landlord and agent will no longer be able to “reject” pets who “unfairly” reject tenants in rental homes, but despite this property list, the landlord has not yet adapted to the changes 
It is estimated that 51% of adults own pets in the UK, but the rental sector has a long history of pet-friendly and pet-friendly, allowing pets.
As a result, according to Zero Deposit, the vast number of tenants cannot find a home to accept them and their pets.
The northeast is the best
At the regional level, tenants with pets in the northeast are most likely to secure homes with a 9% list that are currently sold as pet friendly.
However, pet-friendly properties are the rarest in the West Midlands (5%), with 6% in the East Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber, followed by 7% in the East England, and 8% in the London, Southwest, Southeast and Northwest.
Reynolds commented:
“Many people are experiencing pet damage to their facilities that shaped this preference, but these landlords are swimming against the increasingly heated tide.”
However, he adds that property damage from a pet costs money to repair it.
“The bill could give landlords the right to insist that certain insurance will be taken out.”
“And while the tenant rights bill prohibits the prohibition of pet blankets, it limits the amount that landowners take from tenants for security deposits, exposing them to the risk of property damage and therefore to the loss of income.
“The bill could give landlords the right to assert that certain insurance is taken out to protect against pet-related damages, and therefore provides greater security.”
