I am surprised that so many condos have a "no pets" policy. How strict is this policy? For instance, I have a cat that would not go outside, so would my cat be banned also?
A: As a devoted dog mom, this is an issue that's near and dear to my heart, especially as my first dog years ago was what I call a real estate rescue.
At the time, I was a real estate broker working in a big office, and adopted my Pekinese, Mr. Chom Chom Nelson (RIP), after answering the SOS email of an agent who was selling the home of some clients who were (you guessed it!) moving out of state, to a condo that wouldn't allow pets.
I have personally only owned single-family homes, and all the condo transactions I've managed have been in California, which has a law prohibiting no-pet condo deed restrictions (California Civil Code Section 1360.50), so I was completely outraged at the idea of such a ban. It was a real education for me to find out that in states like Florida and New York, it is extremely common for every condo complex in town to have an outright deed restriction on all pets.
