Making your place pet friendly for MTRs is a significant bonus so I encourage it if you're looking to keep your place filled.

One example is bonus deprecation and cost segregation on properties (this is going away slowly over the next 4 years), but you could really reap the benefits of this type of investment.

Get it while the gettin is good (bonus points for who gets the reference :).
