Have the owners of pets of pets won the battle but could the owners win the war?

A law similar to Pro-Pets has been underway to Victoria for five years. There, the tenants must fill in a demand form for pets and there is a lot of discussion on social media on the fact that pet owners must do it when applying to rent the property – and they risk not getting it because the owner will filter them in silence – or we wait for them to be assigned and hope that the owner has no reason to refuse.

In a first Victorian case of the civil administrative court brought pursuant to the new laws, an owner had refused permission in part because “the terrace on the roof … is insufficiently closed to prevent the dog from jumping on the enclosure, which would probably involve his fatal fall on the ground, potentially injuring passers -by”.

In another case Vcat, the owner claimed that their insurance policy did not cover pets and that they suffered from hay allergies and fever, which could influence them if they returned to live there. At the hearing, their lawyer added that the property had been damaged by a previous tenant dog and the new tenants had already brought their dog without permission.

In both cases, Vcat established that waste was not reasonable and pets was allowed. However, the Union of Victorian tenants states that the most recent courts have ordered that pets were removed from the rental properties.

The judgment of the Cooper case allowed the pets in condominiums regardless of the fact that the property was tenant or occupied by the owner. However, the owner can still refuse and the owners’ companies can still deny pets when the tenant does not have the owner’s written permission.

The new regulations for pets are part of a series of changes to the law also by train for Victoria-which include the end of evictions without fault, limits to the frequency of the increases in rents and prohibitions on the rental offers and additional bonds for pets.

There is the concern that these guarantees for residential tenants can push the owners owned by the new Southern Wales in short -term holidays, a form of left that this prohibits pets, increases in rent without limits and the freedom to rent an investment property for those who want the owners as long as I wish.

Here’s where Victoria is in front of us.

Last month, the city of Sydney requested an action on commercial investors who manage multiple short -term rentals, claiming that it could return more than 1000 houses in the center inside the long -term rental market. For pets, perhaps, as well as their humans.

Humans remain the urgent problem. He is saying that tenants can have pets, and therefore they should, but finding an accessible place to live is the challenge with a real bite for too many tenants.
