The Bill certainly provides some well-needed protection to the tenant, but it also needs to strike a balance for landlords. I believe these extra three weeks’ worth of deposit provide some protection. It may be a struggle for tenants to find. I thank the Minister for her comments regarding her proposals, but I am not sure they quite meet what this deposit would do. I look forward to hearing the Minister’s response, as this is an important matter for landlords and pet-owning tenants and would improve the Bill.
