Condo Rules For Pet Owners
Do you have good examples of Condo Pet Policies or Rules that you could send to me? We are in the process of revising our condo pet rules, as we have had a number of complaints and some of our rules seem to be somewhat vague. Thanks.

Cathy, I do not have enough information to provide specifics for your particular condominium and you would obviously need your counsel to prepare any amendments.
Nevertheless, here are some generic condominium rules for pets.
The maintenance, keeping, boarding and/or raising of animals, livestock or poultry of any kind, regardless of number, shall be and is hereby prohibited within any condominium unit or Common Elements, except that this shall not prohibit the keeping of small dogs, cats, and/or caged birds as domestic pets, provided they are not maintained, kept or bred for commercial purposes and provided further that the keeping of small dogs, cats and/or caged birds will not constitute such type of noxious or offensive activity.
All pets shall be kept leashed and under the control of their owner whenever they are outside the unit, and shall not be allowed to run free or unleashed at any time, or to otherwise interfere with the rights, comfort or convenience of other residents.
Dogs may only be walked in the following areas: wherever this particular condo community decides; ex: the grassy area along the fence by City Blvd. and Town
Terrace.
Dogs may not be walked on grassy areas near your neighbors' units, and must be cleaned up after.
Pets must be vaccinated and kept in accordance with the County Health Department laws and regulations.
Owners are responsible for all damages caused by their pets to common areas and to the property of others.
Consult with you association counsel and you can accomplish your new goals.
