The number of bedrooms for STR has to match the number of bedrooms cited in the septic permit, so you are seeing homes with 7 BR now have a 10 person STR occupancy limit and some homes that had bedrooms added without permits now being restricted. 

As for the persons you said you would send an application, you may have to just be honest and let them know that since they have pets, you are not going to send an application because you have decided not to permit pets.

Sounds like a consult with a real estate attorney or perhaps start with a call to city permits/zoning. 

Hardwired and interconnected vs. solely battery operated depends on what municipality or police jurisdiction the property is in, the date of the requirements, the grandfathering rules, and the last time a permit was pulled, which would have probably eliminated grandfathering.

"Most" gets a little weird though - for example, in Michigan, you can strip and re-shingle a roof without a permit, but you have to pull a permit if you replace even a single square foot of the sheathing under your new roof.

There's no way the properties building permit wad issued in January and finished by April.
