• PETS IN RENTAL HOUSING: The BC SPCA strongly urges the BC Government to amend the Residential Tenancy Act to make no-pet clauses illegal in tenancy agreements, and grant people the right to care for companion animals in rental, condominium, and strata housing.
  
  Please ask your MLA to support amending the Residential Tenancy Act, and rightfully allow people to have animal companions in housing. Terms for this bill would require that tenants with pets have proof of neutering, I.D., name of vet, and proof of vaccination among other things. The BC SPCA is developing a policy kit for landlords that would set standards for responsible pet ownership. Responsible pet owners make responsible tenants; irresponsible ones don't, nor are they any good for animals.
