Serene Life Homeowners Association, an active adult community, has a rule that limits owners to no more than two dogs. However, the builder grandfathered in two homeowners when they purchased their homes. They each own three dogs. Knowing this, another owner has purchased a third dog. Some board members want to amend the rule to allow no more than three dogs, but others believe this would attract even more dog-loving buyers and result in a noisy, messy community. They want to make each offending owner remove one dog under the threat of fines.
Should the board change its rule? Or should it enforce the existing rule and require each owner to remove one dog?
