Owners Violating Pet Rules? How to Simplify Your HOA's Pet Policies and Enforcement
An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar
With Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards

One homeowner has three dogs, each friendly, well-behaved, and always picked up after. If only that were true of another owner, who walks her dog off leash and blithely dismisses concerns that it's scaring other residents. You're also hearing grumblings about an owner whose cat strolls your
grounds leaving messes behind. And sitting in your email in-box is a request for your board to accommodate chickens as "comfort animals."
Join us for a must-attend webinar on August 4 on how to create smart—and enforceable—pet regulations at your HOA. You'll hear two community association lawyers with decades of hands-on experience in advising associations share
their best advice.
You'll learn:
- What to know about pets in HOAs: Do full-on bans lower property values? Or do most homeowners want reasonable restrictions on pets?
- The most common types of pet restrictions (from banning all pets; banning pets of a certain size; banning certain types of pets; banning pets after owners reach a maximum number, and more)
- What you need to know about grandfathering in pets if you
decide to tighten your existing pet restrictions
- The biggest challenges HOAs have in enforcing pet restrictions and provisions to include in your policies to ensure they're reasonable and enforceable
- How to track owners' pets and pickup (yes, some services are now offering dog-poop DNA testing!), plus how to respond to owners who have pet "guests"
- What you need to know to avoid liability on the comfort and service pet issues, including tips for responding smartly to requests for accommodation, and the types of questions you may ask to assess an owner's request for an accommodation.
- Plus, new issues with pets, from whether animals like chickens can qualify as comfort or service animals
- And much more!
In just 60 minutes, you'll hear the most important information you need to create pet regulations that fit your community and that you can enforce with less frustration. Register now for this informative event for community association board members. |
