Pets create different types of damage, which is why so many landlords do not allow pets into their rented properties. I note the Minister’s comments on the University of Huddersfield’s report, but a significant proportion cause damage. Pets are not humans and have their own minds, so we do not have as much control over them as we would like. The most significant area of the house that takes a battering will be the carpets and flooring. Human beings spend most of their time walking on these, where dogs and cats sleep, live, play, scratch and do other things, increasing their wear and tear.
