Rental searches for pet friendly properties drop after law change

Rental searches for pet-friendly properties have decreased following a recent law change. The decline is attributed to a misconception among renters that they are automatically allowed to have pets, regardless of the landlord's approval. In reality, renters still need to obtain permission from their landlords to keep pets, despite the new law. As a result, real estate agents are seeing fewer renters specifically searching for pet-friendly properties.
