Bill overview
This bill, the Pets Belong with Families Act, aims to change how public housing agencies handle pet ownership. It limits the amount of pet deposits that can be charged to tenants, ensuring they are capped at 10% of rent and amortized over three months with a refund upon move-out. The bill also prohibits public housing agencies from withholding deposits for damage unrelated to the pet and prevents restrictions based on an animal’s breed, size, or weight.
