Responsible Owners with Well-Behaved Pets Make Good Neighbors
Regardless of how lenient your HOA is about the number and type of animals you keep in your Las Sendas four bedroom property, if neighbors start complaining, you may face serious consequences. The first rule for controlling your animals in the community is to have them spayed or neutered, as many altered pets tend to be calmer and less apt to cause a disturbance. Besides, unwanted litters create additional problems for you and your neighbors.
Make Sure Your Animals are Good Citizens
Pet owners must also be conscientious of the behavior of their beloved creatures; what is acceptable (or even amusing) to you may infuriate the folks next door. Remember, they have as much right to peace and quiet as you have to maintain your backyard menagerie. If the problem is behavioral, such as barking or digging under the fence, take steps to remedy the issue.
Aggressive animals are another matter altogether. Should you find yourself fielding complaints about a vicious or intimidating pet, you may be required by law to post warning signs around your four bedroom real estate or surrender the animal. Above all, put your common sense and courtesy to good use. HOA rules can be changed, and you don't want to be responsible for the banning of animals or a particular breed. Keep your community as pet-friendly as it was the day you moved in!
