stop pet discrimination
There are laws that do not allow landlords and real estate agencies to discriminate against possible renters. Most families include their pets as family members.
In order to significantly reduce pet abandonment, overpopulation in shelters and unnecessary trauma to the family, it should be illegal to discriminate or not to allow licensed pets into new rental agreements.
We the undersigned, ask that you look into reducing animal abandonment, ease the load for animal shelters and help families stay together with their pets upon the already stressful time of moving into a new rental unit, through making it unlawful to discriminate families with pets, as they often need to decide between having a home in a timely matter or giving up their licensed pet/s, with all the trauma this brings, as when it comes to retirement rentals, where many elderly people only have their cat or dog as company.
Thank you
