It is a Health and Safety issue. Some tenants are medically allergic to dogs and cats. No amount of deep cleaning will get rid of the allergens. What happens if the tenants coming after the pet owners are allergic? I feel like a voice crying in the wilderness with this one.

Re David Wirth's comment: Very few properties at present allow pets so the allergy question rarely comes up. And if a tenant started to sneeze etc while looking round a property they wouldn't go on to rent it. Don't believe a deep clean (whatever that is!) would get rid of all the hairs and dander. If some landlords want to let to pet owners, absolutely fine, their choice. But don't make it compulsory for every single landlord.

It's a health and safety issue. Some people are allergic to dogs and cats, and, however well or deep it is cleaned it is impossible to get rid of every last dog or cat hair and skin cell. When the pet owning tenant leaves, the new tenants could be allergic. Health and safety. And despite what loving owners like to think, dogs (and cats) do shed hairs, cause damage, and make the house smell of dog (or cat).

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.
