Other vulnerable groups most affected by these arbitrary bans include people suffering from loneliness, whose animal is often their only source of day-to-day support, as well as victims of family violence, who may decide to remain in an unsafe situation because they are unable to find animal-friendly housing and can\u2019t imagine leaving without their animal, who is a major source of comfort to them.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b10ee6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7b10ee6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22f80f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22f80f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>All political parties should commit to keeping families together<\/b><\/p><p>Given the current housing crisis and rising cost of living, and the fact that 52% of Quebec households include an animal, the imbalance caused by these clauses is extremely problematic. Unlike other types of contracts, which are the result of negotiations between two parties, a residential lease is a \u201cstandard form agreement\u201d, i.e. a contract where the stronger party imposes its terms on the weaker party, without negotiation. Responsible tenants whose animals cause no damage or nuisance should not have to live with the constant threat of losing their home or being forced to part with their companion. More than one animal a day is surrendered to the SPCA because of the difficulty of finding a home where animals are accepted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cOur team is so frequently called upon to deal with these issues by citizens in distress, and the impact on shelters is so significant, that the SPCA considers it a province-wide priority issue,\u201d warns Gaillard. \u201cCitizens even tell us that a commitment to ban no-pet clauses could influence their vote in the next provincial election.
