We have tuff pet guidelines at our condo assn and one disabled person wants them abolished while another disabled person wants them to stay who prevails?

Answer 1

Pet guidelines in any common ownership scheme are generally documented by board action.

A thorough and thoughtful conversation about which pets, their size, conduct, limitations and permissions is required by the community, with board participation. Best practices dictate that the board call a pet committee and conduct this open dialog.

The final decision is one that benefits the entire community, not one individual person.

Noting that "disabled person" appears in the question. Considering that the "pet" may be a service animal. Should this be the case, service animals are not pets and under ADA may not be regulated or prohibited. As a disabled person who requires a service animal, if this is the case, all possible accomidations must be made by landlords.

Answer 2

The outcome would depend on the specific rules and regulations of the condo association and any applicable laws or regulations in the region. It is important to carefully review the governing documents and consult with legal professionals to understand the rights and restrictions regarding disabled individuals and their pets in the condo association before making a decision.
