What is the name of your state? Maryland
Hi,
I live in a condo that I own in Baltiore City and recently acquired a second dog. According to the condo house rules, residents can only keep one dog or two cats. I was recently given notice that I am in violation of the condo rules and need to get rid of one dog. However, the VP of the Condo board recently admitted to me in a conversation that she is aware of at least one other resident (a renter, not owner) with more than two pets in their unit. After hearing this, I sent a notice to the board advising them of other residents in violation of the rules and that the VP Board member is not only aware of others keeping of more than two pets, she has not reported this person to the board because they are friends. I have decided to sell my condo because of the types of rules (and tenants) in which the condo association upholds. In the meantime, I have taken one dog to a family member's home who lives on the same street, until I move. I advised the board of this but also told them that the second dog (who weights less than 9 pounds) will continue to be a frequent visitor until my pending departure. Yesterday, the VP of the board saw me walking both dogs and today, I received a letter stating that legal action would be taken for having two dogs in my possession and condo. What are my rights as an owner in this instance?
Thank you,
