Practical Advice for Relief From Pet Peeves in Community Living
The neighbor’s dog barks all day while the neighbor is at work. The cat down the street prefers anyone’s flower bed to her litter box.
What can be done about these and other pet problems common to community associations?
Help may be found in “Pet Policies: How to Draft and Enforce Rules That Sit, Stay and Heel,” the latest title issued by Community Assn. Press, the publishing division of the Community Assns. Institute.
The book offers practical alternatives to pet restrictions and innovative enforcement ideas to get results without going to court, according to Hal A. Barrow, a Warminster, Pa., attorney who specializes in community association legal issues.
The book includes information about the federal Fair Housing Act and its impact on community associations’ pet policies. A section on the trend of owning exotic and dangerous pets offers advice on how to handle this new species of pet issues.
