The City of Berkeley is considering a first-of-its-kind law for the state of California which would prohibit landlords from imposing a ‘no pet’ policy on tenants seeking to rent an apartment according to SFGate.

The proposal was authored by Berkeley City Councilmember Jesse Arreguin (District 4).

According to Arreguin “allowing tenants to keep pets would cut down on the city’s homeless pet population” as stated in SFGate.
