Petition to enforce the acceptance of animals into a rental housing: One should seriously investigate this cause instead of enforcing it without thinking about the consequences
The Association des Propriétaires du Québec (APQ) notes that once again the filing of a petition concerning the clause prohibiting animals in rental dwellings misses its target and overall vision of the situation.
This new petition, which comes up regularly in the demands of tenants, wants to “Prohibit clauses prohibiting pets in a rental housing”.*
In fact, it would be unfair and inappropriate for such a decision, which has significant financial consequences for rental housing owners, to be imposed on them without the possibility of demanding a security deposit.
The owner has an obligation to maintain his building and dwellings in good condition and he must guarantee the peaceful enjoyment of the premises.
