"The situation is complicated because Bradys adult children resided in a nearby Orange Tree Village condo and kept the dog there until they were cited more than a year ago by the association, the (condo's) attorney added."
Depends on the type of dog. But if he knew the rules before hand he needs to put the dog on a diet.
It should not be hard to show that the dog is an service dog under ADA. I believe the psychologist erred in ignorance when calling the dog an emotional support dog. Many people do not realize there is a difference. If the dog assists with an actual recognized disability changing the designation should not be hard.
HOA’s seem to be out of control with busy bodies on these boards with to much time on their hands so they make up these inane and stupid regulations. They really are an abomination.
I hate HOA and have been free of one for the past 4 years. I am proud to say that I took every opportunity to piss them off by ignoring their letters about my yard or extra car parked out front.
It pays to be the neighborhood weirdo. No one wants to mess with you beyond a threat.
If any Freeper who knows this vet or his lawyer sees this, recommend they do a crowdsourcing such as GoFundMe campaign so the vet can move - with the remainder used to castigate these HOA and condo assoc morons in public media. The courts are not always the only way to win.
