Targeting letting agents and landlords, the purpose of the research is to provide accurate data on the type of damage caused in rental accommodation by adults, children, and pets, as well as the cost to landlords and the method of recovery.
Tenant Fees Act
The results will be presented to Eddie Hughes, the Minister for Rough Sleeping & Housing, at the Department for Levelling Up Housing & Communities (DLUHC) in late Spring 2022, to further enhance the Heads for Tails’ report and proposals to amend the Tenant Fees Act 2019 as well as making renting with pets easier for both parties, thus avoiding the devastating impact of ‘no pets’ clauses.
Capped pet deposit
