There’s hope more landlords will give people with pets a chance in the wake of government changes.
Pet bonds are being introduced: tenants will be liable for all pet damage beyond fair wear and tear and landlords will only be able to withhold consent on reasonable grounds.
Pet Refuge Founder Julie Chapman hopes this means people leaving family violence situations will be able to find places for them and their pets more easily.
Subsequently, Pet Refuge will be able to help more people, sooner.
She says they've been operating at capacity for the last nine months, on a one in, one out, situation for cats and dogs.
