no pet rule

What is the name of your state?Ca. The no pet rule states no 4 legged animals.Ive oned my unit for 4yrs now and got a dog about a year and a half ago.I got the dog because there are lots of cats and dogs living in this complex and have been long before I decided to get one. The HOA sent me a letter stating that I have been reported as having an animal and must get rid of her. I do have an animal but so do so many other residents.I know that we can try to get the by laws changed. I want to know If there is a performance law that might over ride this rule since it was never enforced for many years and since there will be so many displaced animals, If one must get rid of thier pet then all must do so, all though I dont think I would report anyone because it causes lots if distress on the animal and their owners.I guess this is also dicrimination.

Sorry, but no. The other cats and dogs may have been "grandfathered in", meaning that the rules about pets changed after they were already owners and they are entitled to keep the pets they have until they die. It is irresponsible to take on a dog if you are aware that there is a rule that applied to YOUR purchase that prohibited having it. Now you are faced with selling or, as a responsible owner, locating a good family to take your pet.

KNowing that some owers have pets is NOT a legal reason to add one to your household when a rule was in place at the time you purchased that explicitly prohibed this.

I do have knowledge that the rule was in the original bylaws only I assumed that there were no pet rules because I saw so many of them. I do wish now that I had read the rules before I got the dog yes this was not a responsible thing to do. I also feal that HOA did not act responsibly If they had there would be no pets in this complex.There is a new civil code that does restrict any governing bodies from having at least 1 pet but this is only good for those governing bodies born after Jan1 2000. ours was before then but like I said the bylaws have always stated no 4 legged animals

If the no pet rule was in the original bylaws and the board has allowed cats then they're guilty of selective enforcement and you may have a case.
