Agree with everything but HARD disagree with #3. Pets are not a right and so many people are HORRIBLE pet owners. And when people are bad pet owners the damage they can do it unreal, like ripping the house down to the studs type of damage. Also anything that prevents people from being bad pet owners is a win in my book. That addition to the law would be AWFUL for animal welfare and it’s just not needed.
If the damage they are causing is more than superficial, that would be covered under “damaging the property” (in #1).
The point of #3 is that it shouldn’t be the landlord’s business how someone lives their life. Their only role is the fact that they own a house. If it’s bad for the animal’s welfare, that’s the State’s job to deal with, not someone purely with a profit motive.
