It will soon be easier to rent with pets in Queensland as new reforms come into effect in the coming days. 

Landlords will need to give tenants a reason for rejecting pet applications from this Saturday, October 1.

First National Real Estate CEO Ray Ellis told Sofie Formica the change will benefit everyone involved.

“A person who rents a house or apartment, it’s their home and if their home’s a better environment with a pet, more power to them because they’ll treat it more like a home.

“It’s actually good news for our industry, good news for our tenants, and landlords will get better tenants as a result of it.”
