Interesting.

It's this one example of the ambiguity that make it difficult for some to respect the restrictions.

Hey all of you sticklers, you signed it, you accepted it. I bet none of you do it.

I can’t imagine goldfish are actually considered pets. They fall more into the category of home decor.

Well, I suppose it’s when you take the more than 2 pets outside, when it becomes obvious. Or if you invite people over who disapprove in the first place.

Oh, about those two lonely ants, they’ve got a whole lot of friends outside my place….

I was thinking about arranging a "play date" for them, but I couldn't get the room I wanted at the rec center. Maybe a party at Chuck E. Cheese?

They are according to the deed restrictions;

"Section 7. Birds, fish, dogs and cats shall be permitted, with a maximum of two (2) pets per Homesite."

I don't personally see any difficulty. You signed up for a set of deed restrictions. Follow through on what you signed up for regardless if someone is watching.

People in glass houses...

I don't have any deed restriction violations. If I did, I would correct them if brought to my attention. How about you?

Which is why you always see then in the furniture stores, and never in pet shops.

No wonder I can't find them. I've been looking in the seafood section at Public's.

Please tell that to all the people who are disrupting their neighborhood by renting out a revolving door room in their house while they live there. Just because the deed restriction violations that entails are not enforced, it’s still not right and violates the deed restrictions they agreed to when purchasing their home.

tuccillo 11-26-2022 10:03 AM

I agree. It is unfortunate that the “inside the house deed restrictions” are, as far as I can tell, not enforced.

Are there really "all the people" who do that? That would be worse than picking up a hitchhiker.

But if you know of a deed violation occurring, take the owner to court to stop it. Check the ENFORCEMENT section of your deed restrictions. The Developer is not the only one who can bring proceedings against a violation. (you should also see the words "the right but not the duty to enforce")

Wonder how many people actually read this at closing and remember what they read? Believe it would be a very small percentage

Our deed restrictions read differently. It only refers to “domestic pets” with no mention of fish or birds, and there is no limit on the number, only that they must be leashed, must be cleaned up after, and cannot create a nuisance.
