Declared interest
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
I am fully supportive of the RSPCA’s Best Practice guidance for pets in private rented property, and we have shared this, along with their Homes for All guide, with private landlords and agents through Rent Smart Wales. However, there are currently no plans for the Welsh Government to legislate regarding the keeping of pets in rental properties.
