It is not right that people who live in Housing Association properties are not allowed pets. For some people having a pet may be the only company they have. It is a well known fact that pets can be very good for both physical and mental health.
Of course as in council properties the tenant has to sign a tenancy agreement and as long as the pet doesn't cause a nuisance to anybody they should be allowed to have one.
It is very unfair that somebody may lose the chance of a nice new home because they are a responsible pet owner and won't give up their pet. If they do have to give up their pet it will cause heartache and a decline in both their mental and pyhsical health.
So please sign this petition if you believe that Housing Association Tenants should be allowed to have pets.
I have finalized a draft policy proposal that outlines clear terms for responsible pet ownership in these properties. This document is currently being delivered to regional Housing Association directors to initiate a formal review process.

The volume of support has reached a level that allows me to formally request a meeting with the Housing Ombudsman. I am currently finalizing the briefing document to present our case for policy reform.

I have always struggled with depression and anxiety. I couldn't leave my home. Now I have a rescue dog who encourages me to go out into the world and interact with people. she has saved my life.

People living alone especially the elderly rely on a pet for company. Some would not bother to go out if they didn't have a dog to walk or pet food to buy.

Pets are part of the family and they help people to live happy lives. Sometimes they are the only company a person has and they have a right for somewhere to live too.
