Stop landlords rejecting people with pets

There is a massive problem with people trying to find private renting properties due to fact of having pets, mainly dogs which is very unfair. A lot of dogs can treat a house more respectfully than children, so why should people with dogs be rejected? Landlords take a deposit at the start of a tenancy so I don't see why we should still be getting rejected. I know it's said that landlords can not discriminate against pet owners but if, say, two people go for a house - one with dogs and the other without - the landlord can still choose the person without dogs as they don't want pet owners in their properties.

The estate agent always asks if you have any pets at the start of the application and I don't think this is right. Many people become homeless due to not being able to rent as they have pets.

People should join this campaign as I know there are so many people in this situation and something needs to be done about it to make it fair for those struggling to find a rented property
