Can a landlord exclude Children?

[Ameliaparrot]

I have recently enquired about renting a bungalow property, however the agent says the landlord excludes children and pets.

I understand pets on grounds of health (allergies in future tenants), but if there are no grounds to exclude children (ie. it might include a mezzanine that is not safe for young children) what rights do they have to do this?

When it all comes down to it they own the property and are allowed to decide who they do and don't want living in it.

I think Childs are minor they cannot get into the legal procedures.
