In a surprising legislative twist, North Carolina has reportedly passed a law that will send shockwaves through the rental market. The new law, deemed by some as the ‘Furry Freedom Act’, aims to override all landlord pet restrictions, effectively eliminating pet deposits and placing no limits on the number of pets a tenant can have.
Under this groundbreaking law, landlords will find themselves powerless to enforce any kind of pet policy. As a result, rental properties across the state are bracing for an unprecedented influx of furry, feathered, and even scaly inhabitants. “It’s like Noah’s Ark, but in every apartment,” commented one bewildered property manager.
Local landlords are in an uproar, with many expressing concerns over potential damages and noise complaints. “I woke up in a world where my tenant can legally start a cat cafe in their living room,” lamented one landlord, who is considering investing in industrial-grade vacuum cleaners.
Tenants, on the other hand, are thrilled. Pet lovers across the state are already planning to expand their animal families. “I’ve always wanted to live with three dogs, four cats, a couple of parrots, and maybe a goat,” said an excited resident from Charlotte. “Finally, a law that understands my needs!”
