What discussions has the Cabinet Minister had with animal welfare charities to improve pet friendly provisions within the private rented sector?
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning | Answered on 24/09/2026
As set out in the First Minister’s legislative statement on 14 July, strengthening rights for renters in Wales is a priority for this government and we are taking a phased legislative approach, aiming to protects tenants, tackle poor practice, and make renting more secure and affordable. We are currently considering which additional renters’ rights and protections are required in Wales, and I can confirm we will be exploring provisions in relation to pets.
