Agency Reports Minimal Impact from Renters Rights Act Pet Policy

A recent report claims that nine in ten landlords have not received a single formal pet request since the Renters Rights Act pet policy came into force on 1 May. The findings are based on responses from 717 landlords and 860 tenants across England and Wales, according to agency LRG.

The report suggests that the new framework for pet requests has so far made little impact on the private rented sector. This information may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring changes in tenant demand and landlord response following recent legislative updates.
