Since the leash statement is part of the sentence about dedicated or reserved areas, EITHER they need to be kept on leash while in those dedicated or reserved (public) areas OR they need to be on leash at all times, including in the house. Fish on leashes too. I think Ms. Tucker might want to check with a lawyer before she sends out the deed restriction police.
Bike42, excellent observation for what it's worth. You are right! As the statement is written, either pets need to be leashed only in dedicated or reserve areas or they need to be leashed at all times, including in the house. Good catch!

That's too funny.
