The information that tenants require to be safe with a landlord and a property (which they do need) is readily available. The government How to Rent leaflet says it all. The prospective tenant can ask to see gas/electricity/EPC certificates etc. They can also check to see if we are members of eg NRLA. In other words the tenants can reference us, just as we reference them. Maybe letting agents or Homelet could do landlord checks for tenants. Don't need a cumbersome licensing system for that

Health and safety has always been my objection to having pets in a property. If a tenant moving into a property is allergic to cats and/or dogs, and the property has had them living there, what then? Deep cleaning won't remove everything. We have to ban these pets for the welfare of our next tenants. Many are allergic. Some pets eg fish, possibly hamsters etc in cages could be OK in this regard.

Actually it's just a health and safety issue. Some people are allergic to dogs and cats. What happens when pet owners move out and an allergic tenant moves in? A clean, however deep, won't get rid of all the substances that cause allergic reactions. We can't risk it.
