About Us

Welcome to Rent With Pets, where we believe that a home is not just a place—it’s a sanctuary for both people and their beloved animals. Our mission is simple yet profound: Creating pet-friendly housing for a more compassionate community.

Our Story

Founded by the Humane Society of the United States, Rent With Pets emerged from a pressing need to address one of the leading causes of pet surrender—housing restrictions. Every day, countless families face the heartbreaking decision to give up their furry companions due to limitations imposed by landlords. We are dedicated to changing that narrative and ensuring that no family has to choose between a home and their cherished animals.

What We Do

Rent With Pets serves as a comprehensive resource hub for both renters and landlords. We provide a wealth of tools and information, including:

  • Actionable Guides: Step-by-step resources to help tenants advocate for their right to have pets in rental properties.
  • Legal Insights: Informative content on laws and regulations governing pet-inclusive housing to empower renters with the knowledge they need.
  • Downloadable Resources: Templates and checklists to facilitate conversations between tenants and landlords about creating pet-friendly policies.
  • Advocacy Tools: Strategies and tips for individuals and communities to advocate for more inclusive housing policies, making it easier for everyone to keep their pets safely and happily in their homes.

Join Our Movement

At Rent With Pets, we believe that creating a compassionate community starts with recognizing the bond between humans and animals. Our goal is to not only provide resources to renters but also to encourage landlords to adopt pet-inclusive policies that benefit everyone.

Together, we can work towards a future where everyone—regardless of their housing situation—has the opportunity to share their lives with companion animals. Join us in our mission to make housing more inclusive for people and pets alike.
