Renters need homes that feel like home

A rental is not just a landlord’s investment property, it’s a person or family’s home. Homes are special, and so much more than just a roof and four walls. All people should be able to make straightforward choices to make the house we live in a home, including whether or not to keep pets.

Vision:

Renters can make simple choices to make the houses we live in homes, including whether or not to keep pets - and we don't have to fight the landlord to do this.

Solution:

Landlords must be required to seek an order at the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal if they wish to refuse a request for a pet. The onus of proof must be placed on the landlord to demonstrate why it is reasonable to refuse the request.
