Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Nevada
Homeowners Association Violations
At a hearing held by the Board of Directors of my HOA it was decided that I be required to permanantly remove my pet dog from the property alleging ''continued lack of proper maintenance of a pet on the premises.'' Inasmuch as the CC&Rs state in part that ''any pet causing or creating a nuisance or unreasonable disturbance or noise shall be permanently removed from the Project,'' it is my belief that this exceeds their authority and is in violation of my legal right to possess a pet dog. Should I comply or do I have legal standing in this matter?

Re: Homeowners Association Violations
The Homeowner's Association Board has discretion to make this decision. You're only choice is to take them to Court. If the dog is a nuisance it has to go.
