There are condos and townhouses where pets are not allowed. I know of one condo building that won’t allow pets except fish. Some associations have
height and weight and limit the number of cats and dogs. Maybe they allow cats but not dogs. I haven’t seen any that allow dogs but not cats.
There are pet-friendly condos and townhouses and some that don’t allow pets.
There are various reasons for not allowing pets. I recall one association did not allow dogs because most units had hardwood floors and there was some concern about the noise dogs might make walking across the floor. That association has many rules that don’t always make sense to outsiders.
Pet restrictions are in the condo documents. Just because a condo is advertised as allowing pets that doesn’t make it so. Lately, I have found several condos listed as having height, weight, and or breed restrictions for dogs. When I ask for more information it is all vague. Apparently, there are some types of dogs that some owner’s associations don’t allow.
Weight restrictions and height restrictions tend to be specific, although I am not sure who measures and weighs or what happens if there is a weight restriction and the dog gains weight.
Pets are important to many of us. According to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), 43% of households indicated they would be willing to move to better accommodate their pets, demonstrating that pets are a priority for many consumers as they look for homes.
