Why would council tenants necessarily be bad breeders ?

Any different from Private Landlords banning Pets?

Yes because councils don't ban dogs as pets usually. It does make me wonder if it is getting us all ready to be sold to housing associations though as some of them do ban dogs. I have asked our council several times what happens if they sell us to one who doesn't allow pets and had no answers so far.

I'm guessing that Council's must've experienced problems to have put such a rule in place. And I'm sure they realise that not all Council tenants who breed have caused problems. The difficultly is how do they set out a rule that stops the 'baddies' only?

And making a rule more complicated to cater for the 'good' breeders then becomes impossible for the Council to monitor.

So, no, such a rule is not necessarily fair, but I can see why they may have felt they had to impose it. Would be interested to know just what problems there have been though.

Is there any information on why?

I recently (last year) move H/A to a different one who doesn't accept dogs but as I had Anoushka at the time they said it is fine but if they cause problems you can lose your tenancy, as it happens the kids are more unruly than the dogs

Seems very unfair to me, we have dogs in our council shared ownership flat if they cause problems I quite understand I would lose my tenancy but to be sold on to another owner and not be able to have any more dogs just because we cannot afford to buy a house ...........
