Making more rental properties pet friendly

Abstract

This is a 13minute listen broadcasted on Radio National.

Assessing your rights and responsibilities when it comes to having a pet in a rental property.

Pets are an important part of life for many of us. But if you’re renting, having a furry companion join you in your new home can lessen your chances of finding a place to live.

A world-first study looks at the rights and responsibilities of pet owners, landlords and animals and offers a way forward that could work for everyone.
