    I would agree with you more if there wasn’t such a housing shortage and an increasing number of properties being swallowed up by large rich renters.

    It steadily means that people have little choices, and are forced not to be able to have pets in their lives. Something people have been doing with dogs and cats for thousands of years.

    If there’s a risk, renters should be required some reasonable cost or deposit to cover it (not something gouging).

    Edit: in general, too, I think that the normal “rules” of capitalism should go out the window when we’re talking about basic human needs like food, housing, or health care.
