Public Comment on 10/28/25 Rental Housing Study Session
Hello! I’m a San Luis Obispo native, have lived in homes here both rented and owned for over 40 years. I am
currently a renter and would love for there to be more regulation around the ability for renters to have pets. Pet
ownership is one of the great joys of life, and as a renter, it’s all but impossible in San Luis Obispo. Considering
how inaccessible home ownership is for many people in SLO, this is an issue for everyone at every level—up to and
including people with head-of-household jobs. If the City could incorporate programs that encourage landlords to
allow pets, this would make a big impact on the quality of life of renters. This could involve ample protections for
landlords—certification programs for animals, increased deposits or rents, etc. But as it stands, the landlords call
the shots, and it is quite literally nearly impossible to find a landlord that will allow pets of any kind.
Thank you for your consideration
