“Landlords have been looking for creative ways beyond rent reductions and free months to incentivize the retention of current tenants while also attracting new renters,” says Brian P. Hourigan, managing director of BOND New York.  One obvious solution is for management companies to re-examine, and in many cases, relax, their pet policies. This is good news for New Yorkers who plan on moving and already have a pet or want to get one.
