Renters' Rights Bill: Championing Pet-Friendly Properties

The Pet-Friendly Properties Campaign, led by Mars Petcare UK, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, and Lexington Communications, is driving legislative change to end blanket bans on pets in rental properties, addressing a widespread issue affecting millions of renters across the UK. Through a strategic mix of political engagement, media outreach, and stakeholder advocacy, the campaign is influencing key legislation, including the Renters Reform Bill and the Renters’ Rights Bill, with cross-party backing and growing political momentum. It has already secured critical wins, such as a reduced response time for pet requests and formal Government recognition, while continuing to push for stronger, clearer protections. The campaign is paving the way for a more compassionate rental system and a future where no one is forced to choose between their home and their pet.
