It's not a "ban"; from what's described it's a disclosure requirement. It has always been required to have these in the rental agreements - but you have to publicize them so people see them before they pay an application fee.
It's not that onerous of legislation, but it also feels a bit gimmicky. I have never once had a problem getting the information when asked. And places that provide free utilities or pets already advertise themselves heavily as such - this would really only benefit extreme novices in the market
Maybe you haven't rented in a while from a management company.
There are any number of stupid trends nowadays.
apartment account/login required to do almost anything, including autopay.
electronic phone/garage keys with almost trivial consent of access to your apartment. apartment internet required. third party apps with account/phone/video+photos requirement to access package room, etc.

At least when it's electronic it's logged and auditable somewhere. The amount of bad outcomes from keys floating around out there is absurd.
