I see no reason why council or social landlords should ban pets. Nor should they be imposing stringent demands like spaying or neutering which are now being shown to be far too dangerous to be applied to animals in a blanket manner. Private landlords should be free to decide who they let to and what can be done in their properties. However if pet charities like the RSPCA think that private landlords should let to people with pets why don't they put up a fund to cover any damage caused by those animals? After all, if they are right and all tenants are considerate and careful with well behaved pets then it won't cost them anything, will it?

The problem is created because people in short term lets get pets and then can't find a new let that will take their pets. So they take them to animal charities. The animal charities, despite their names, don't really take in unwanted animals. The RSPCA doesn't take owner surrendered animals for instance. And so the charities are creating stink about it. Not sure why they are collecting for animals but there you go.

Isn't pushing landlords out of business what these financial 'penalties' for want of a better name were intended to do? Most of those who are stopping letting that I know are simply putting relatives in the houses they own and waiting to see what happens. No gain for tenants there then.

We should be wary of RSPCA figures because they have been show to be dodgy in the past and generally only show what the RSPCA is willing to prove. I don't take deposits anyway, I require 2 property owning guarantors who pass credit reference checks. Any problems straight back to the guarantor. On the subject of guarantors, if the RSPCA and other animal charities are so keen on landlords allowing pets (I do) why don't they offer to underwrite any damage caused by pets since they all seem to have plenty of money judging by their chief executives salaries?
