A government move says landlords should no longer stop tenants from keeping pets unless they are badly behaved.
Many renters are forced to give up their pets as only seven per cent of landlords advertise properties as suitable for animals.
Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has ordered the Government’s model tenancy contract to be rewritten to remove all restrictions on well-behaved pets.
The agreement is the recommended contract for landlords to use when signing new tenants.
