Landlords must allow occupants to keep pets in major tenancy rules overhaul

Landlords will soon be legally required to allow occupants to have pets in their homes, after decades of barrings put in place by some proprietors.

Government Proposals led by Housing Secretary Michael Gove - which are expected to be announced tomorrow - will bring a long-anticipated end to blanket bans on four legged friends in landlord lettings.

The new rules are said to be included within the Renters Reform Bill, which will also put a halt to 'no fault' section 21 evictions - which currently enables landlords to evict tenants without establishing fault from renters.
