PAWSITIVE NEWS FOR RENTERS: If elected, NSW Labor will make it easier for our furry family members to get a fair shot in the rental system.
Currently, a landlord is able to decline a tenant’s request for a pet for no specific reason, and is under no deadline to respond to requests.
Under NSW Labor, renters will be able to submit a simple request form, with owners required to respond in 21 days. If refused, owners will need to provide a valid reason from a list of prescribed reasons. And if the owner fails to respond, the pet request will automatically be approved 👏👏👏
