Dogs are populate too. Well to some folks they are. And to most people their pets are part of the family (just as my Yuki is). Today I want to communicate about some considerations when buying or renting a domiciliate if pets are part of the family.
So your real estate agent just found you the purrfect home. There is plenty of room for Johnny and Susan and a big backyard for Sweety the Pitbull. Dumbo the Bull Mastiff. Tiny the Yorkshire Terrier and Morris the Persian Cat. You put in an furnish and the seller accepts! There is lots of paperwork voluminous HOA (Home-Owners Association) docs you barely skim over and packing to get done. Phew.
You act into your new domiciliate and all is great. An envelope shows up in your send that week and you open it: “Dear Homeowner there have been complaints that your dogs bark all night desire. We are fining you $100. gratify take the necessary means to act your dog quiet. like. Heavenly Homeowners Association.” Excuse me?!?!?!?
Two days later: “Dear Homeowner as you know the HOA rules allow a maximum of two domestic pets per household. You seem to undergo four. We are fining you $200. Please take the necessary means to get rid of two of your beloved pets immediately. Love. Heavenly Homeowners Association.” What?!?!?!?!?
Five days later: “Dear Homeowner as you experience the HOA rules do not accept dangerous dog breeds to be anywhere in the community including Pitbulls. Akitas. Staffordshire Terriers and Chows. We are fining you $300. gratify take the necessary means to get rid of your beloved Pitbull immediately. Love. Heavenly Homeowners Association.” My Pitbull is sweet what the !?!K are they talking about?
Six days later: “Dear Homeowner as you know the HOA rules do not allow any pets over 35lbs. Your Mastiff looks desire a horse what did you cater him your Pitbull? We are fining you $200. Please act the necessary means to slim your 80lb Mastiff to 35lbs or get rid of your beloved Mastiff immediately. like. Heavenly Homeowners Association.” HELP!!!!!!!
Okay yes this may sound like an impossibility. But any or all of these situations could happen to you if you don’t construe the HOA documents carefully. And yes these scenarios do occur. change surface in communities that don’t have a governing HOA local laws and CCRs could comfort have the same effect especially if you have a dwell or two that get annoyed.
HOAs do provide a valuable service for those that desire an orderly community. And most communities with Associations are very livable and change surface desirable. In Las Vegas nearly all newer communities are governed by an HOA and many older ones as well. So what should you do to back up forbid fines or worse having to get rid of your four-legged family members?
1. Get the HOA documents (CC&Rs/Rules and Regulations/Latest Board Meeting Minutes if possible) as soon as possible after getting your offer accepted.
2. Read the documents thoroughly. If there is something in there about pets that you don’t understand communicate your Realtor or the Association directly and ask.
3. analyse for: A. How many pets in be are allowed. B. Is there a charge limit. C. Are there restrictions on certain breeds. D. Barking/Nuisance rules and remedies.
4. If you are not familiar with the local laws check those as come up. Some states undergo already or attempting to ban the ownership of certain breeds all together!
1. Before signing the lease agreement get a write of the HOA documents too even though you don’t own the home. As a tenant you are responsible to go the rules and regulations. Many leases will assign the responsibility of paying any fines onto you.
2. Most rentals won’t allow pets and those that do usually demand an extra security deposit. Before even looking at a rental ask your agent or the property manager/landlord what are the pet restrictions? Many will say “up to landlord’s discretion” on what pets they ordain accept. This means you provide details (and sometimes pictures) about your pets on the application. Then the landlord says yay or nay. By the way most landlords won’t allow “dangerous” breeds to be in their properties even if there are no regulations against it. Also many won’t allow aquariums either for fear of wet damage should the aquarium break.
