Should pet bans be banned?

[Catherine]

Of course I think any kind of pet ban is wrong and discriminatory and any other words you can think of.

However the issue is different for a Landlord.

I am lucky that Ontario is pet friendly, but people in BC have a harder time.


Landlords are afraid of damage to their property, but pet owners need a place to live and do not want to give up their pets.
There must be a way to make the rental situation more pet friendly without putting landlords at risk. After all, they have legitimate concerns. It  just isn't fair if they ban all animals without giving them a chance.

I have seen tenants without animals do a lot of damage  to rental properties so it is not just a pet issue. Responsible pet owners are good stable tenants. They will look after the place for the sake of their pet. Maybe they need an ad campaign that explains why pet owners make good tenants.
