Question

Help answer this question below.

Pets have always been allowed for both owners and renters in my condo community. The Board recently ruled only owners may have pets - not renters. Is this legal? and what would be the consequences if I rented to persons with pets?

    Sorry, but they have the right to make regulations of this nature. If you knowingly rent to someone with pets, you are in violation of the condo corporation's regulations. The people renting the unit would either have to get rid of their pets or move. And you, as the owner, have a legal responsibility to inform your tenants of the regulations. If you tell them that pets are permitted when you know they aren't, you may be on the hook legally for any expenses they incur if they have to change their place of residence.

    iT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE LAW IN YOUR STATE IS. YOU CAN ASK AT THE LOCAL COURT-HOUSE AND THEY WLL TELL YOU.iF YOU HAVE AN ASSOCIATION YOU PAY DUES TO FOR THE HOUSE YOU RENT OUT, IT MAY HAVE A RULE IN THE BI-LAWS THAT SAY YOU CANT HAVE PETS IN A RENTAL YOU OWN. REAL ESTATE HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT LAWS..AS DOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. ASK TO SEE THE LAW IN WRITING AND THEN ASK AN ATTORNY OR POLICE OFFICER IF IT IS A STATE LAW OR JUST AN OPINION OF THE GROUP THAT TOLD YOU ABOUT IT.YOU CAN GET A FREE BOOKLET FROM THE LIBRARY ON WHAT THE LAWS ARE ON RENTALS IN YOUR COUNTY OR STATE.
