Pets in Housing Amendment Act of 2025

The Pets in Housing Amendment Act of 2025 prohibits insurance companies from asking about a dog's breed or charging higher premiums based on breed (except for documented aggressive behavior or if the dog is declared dangerous). It amends the 2024 Pets in Housing law to immediately implement pet rent and fee limits without requiring new funding, ensuring landlords who remove breed bans don't face higher insurance costs. This directly affects landlords, tenants (especially low-income residents and people of color who own mixed-breed dogs), and insurance companies in the District of Columbia. The bill removes financial barriers to pet ownership by addressing insurance discrimination and making key housing provisions effective.
