Hello, under the Renters Reform Bill, it states that a landlord cannot reasonably refuse a request for a pet from a tenant. Is there any provision for landlords that are allergic to dogs/cats for health reasons to still be allowed to refuse a pet?

This might seem a petty question but we once had a police officer come and visit us he was not aware we had a rabbit and ended up in hospital after being in the house for only 10 minutes.

Thanks,

Chris
