Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I was wondering if you could help. My brother is renting an apartment in San Francisco renewed a lease contract in February that allowed dogs. He owned a dog, which he intended to bring in a few months. At the time, he signed a lease with an attached pet amendment (didn't sign the amendment.) The property was sold a month ago and the property manager changed. He brought his dog last week. Now, the new manager says that they don't allow pets and he must stay until the end of his lease. Am I right in thinking that the original contract stands and he can keep his dog if he pays the pet deposit and rent?

The terms of the original lease stand. It's renewed under the same terms. The manager cannot come in and change the terms. If you have to, talk to one of the tenant assistance clinics in the San Francisco area. They are top notch.
