About this Event
The D.C. Council recently enacted the Pets in Housing Amendment Act of 2024, which bars certain restrictions on common household pets in apartments, limits fees that may be charged to tenants with pets, and allows pet owners access to homeless shelters. Our panel of experts and advocates will discuss some of the legal and policy issues surrounding pets in housing, the advocacy and debates leading to the District’s new law, and how the Act will change things for landlords and tenants—and their animals.
Panelists:
- Lauren Loney (Staff Attorney, Texas Pets Alive!)
- K. David Meit, CPM® (Principal of Oculus Realty, AMO®)
- Susan Riggs (Senior Director of Housing Policy, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)
- Kelly Whittier (People + Paws for Affordable Housing)
Moderator: Kailey McNeal (Associate, Jones Day; GW Law ’24)
Co-sponsored by the GW Animal Law Program and the D.C. Bar Animal Law Committee.
