There are hopes renters with pets will be better supported in the long run.
The Government's bringing in changes to the Residential Tenancies Act to make it easier for pet-owning tenants to find rental housing.
It includes paying an extra bond of two weeks rent to cover potential damage.
Property Investors' Federation president Sue Harrison told Mike Hosking that the changes have to go through a Select Committee and won't be in place until the end of next year.
She says it's a slow process, and this change alone isn't a game changer but more properties in the marketplace will be.
