Responsibility for Pets
1360.5. (a)
No governing documents shall prohibit the owner of a
separate interest within a common interest development from
keeping
at least one pet within the common interest development, subject
to
reasonable rules and regulations of the association. This
section
may not be construed to affect any other rights provided by
law to an
owner of a separate interest to keep a pet within the development.
(b) For purposes of this section, "pet" means any
domesticated
bird, cat, dog, aquatic animal kept within an aquarium, or
other
animal as agreed to between the association and the homeowner.
(c) If the association implements a rule or regulation restricting
the number of pets an owner may keep, the new rule or regulation
shall not apply to prohibit an owner from continuing to keep
any pet
that the owner currently keeps in his or her separate interest
if the
pet otherwise conforms with the previous rules or regulations
relating to pets.
(d) For the purposes of this section, "governing documents"
shall
include, but are not limited to, the conditions, covenants,
and
restrictions of the common interest development, and the bylaws,
rules, and regulations of the association.
(e) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2001,
and
shall only apply to governing documents entered into, amended,
or
otherwise modified on or after that date.
