Q.Can a homeowner be forced to give up a pet?

A.Governing documents which were created, or amended, after January 1, 2001 must allow each homeowner to keep at least one pet, and cannot prohibit an owner from keeping a pet s/he already has. Beyond this basic requirement, however, pet restrictions in governing documents are valid and enforceable, and a homeowner in violation of the restrictions can be forced to give up his/her pet.
