I always ask myself: Why do people move into a no-pet community if they have or want a pet? Let’s make no mistake: I like pets and I would never even consider the idea of moving into a no-pet community. It just makes no sense to me.

I hear over and over again about people wanting to buy into a no-pet – or weight-limited-pet – community, even adding doctor’s papers to their application?

Aren’t they aware that many of the people living in these so-called no-pet communities are not friendly towards pets, because they moved there for a purpose?

Isn’t moving into a no-pet community with a pet – emotional support animal or not – asking for controversy? Don’t these folks consider that the folks who moved into no-pet communities for a reason – like allergies – will not appreciate their no-pet rules to be broken and will fight them all the way?

A wide majority of communities in Florida don’t have any no-pet or limited weight pet rules – meaning there are many communities that allow dogs and cats – and all other kinds of animals – without annoying your future neighbors.

Honestly: I wouldn’t move anywhere where I’m not wanted in the first place!

Doesn’t it mean you are starting a fight with your future neighbors before you even move in?
