Take action for pet-friendly housing (federal e-petition)

Update

This petition is now closed. Thank you to all who spoke up for pet-friendly housing!

Canadians love, value and rely on the emotional support of their pets; yet most provinces in Canada still allow pet restrictions in rental housing that split people up from their beloved companion animals.
One of the top three reasons people surrender their pets to animal shelters is loss of suitable housing, which is increasing across the country due to national economic challenges.
Meanwhile, animal shelters across the country are in crisis and are at their capacity.
A new federal e-petition calls for legal changes to ensure tenants with pets are no longer excluded from rental housing.

Can you sign the petition help animals stay with their families?

Join MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Humane Canada, the Vancouver Humane Society, and animal organizations across the country in asking the federal government to include Canadian tenants with pets in a legally binding, nationwide Canadian Renters’ Bill of Rights with a specific provision for companion animals, voiding any “no pet” clauses in tenancy agreements so that tenants with pets are no longer excluded from rental housing.

This federal e-petition on the Parliament of Canada website closed on November 2nd at 7 am.
