My Condo association is voting again on an issue regarding pets. At present we have a no pet rule which frankly I am comfortable with. If the group votes to change it I have no real heartache with it but I am curious as to how many other groups do or don't allow pets and if you do allow them what are the rules and do you require damage deposits for each pet.

It will be an issue since one of our members is trying to sell and he got his real estate agent to send a letter to all of us saying how they have lost 4 or 5 sales and our property values could be down by 20% because of it. The letter frosts me cause God forbid that the agent have to work harder to make a sale and since I have no intention of selling Dilligaf if my alleged property values are down by a mythical figure of 20 %. And if my family ever did decide to sell I can assure you that it will not be with that agent or firm.

Ok enough of a rant. Let me say that I have nothing against pets but I prefer they be left at home like I do with my two cats now.

I'll chime in...
We we're lucky to have just purchased a condo/cottage at the lake!!!
I can tell you that the "No Dog Rule" definitely had an impact. We loved a couple places, right price point... but the no pets was a deal breaker.

In any case, we are thrilled to finally have a place on the lake!
