Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
too many pets per homeowners association
We own and live in a single family home in a development. We've had two small dogs for the past several years. Recently a new resident in the community has complained, as the by laws only allow for one. Since it's a single family home, which we own, and have had both dogs for several years, can the association start assessing a fine, per the bylaws?

Being fined or a law suit filed against you must be in compliance with your governing documents. Any changes must be proper. Please contact my office at 714 363 0220 to set up an appointment. I would like to review your written documentation including any letters. We handle cases throughout California. We can review your documentation by fax and speak with you by phone.
