August 31, 2026, The Association
Use these talking points to ensure that pet-owning tenants are aware of their rights
You are probably all-too aware that shelters and rescues are often on the receiving end of pet surrenders due to issues in housing. One of the most important things you can do is ensure that tenants are aware of their rights.
As part of their Pet-Inclusive Housing Initiative, Michelson Found Animals and Human Animal Bond Research Institute have created a one-sheet of talking points to help pet-owning renters understand the Fair Housing Act. Note, the information does not constitute legal advice, but offers informational, common-sense tips, including links to the Fair Housing Act and legal aid resources.
