Study on Intimate Partner Violence
Did you know that more than 60% of Canadian households have cats and dogs, with over 70% considering them family members?
Yet, tenants with pets face systematic discrimination and struggle to find suitable rental housing. This discrimination not only impacts individuals and families but also contributes to significant mental health challenges and housing insecurity.
Here are the key facts about the issue at hand:
- Vulnerable Populations: Young people, seniors, and individuals with disabilities are disproportionately affected by these restrictions
- Housing Insecurity: Pet restrictions in rental housing contribute significantly to housing insecurity and homelessness.
- Surrendering Pets: One of the top three reasons for surrendering pets to animal shelters is the loss of suitable housing.
- Mental Health: Pets are known to reduce stress, depression, and loneliness.
