Decisions from the CAT – Cats vs Dogs – A History of Non-Enforcement

Author:

Article Summary: 

The blog discusses a recent case from the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) involving historical non-enforcement of a blanket prohibition on animals within a condominium. The case, Teno v. Essex Condominium Corporation No. 28, provides guidance to condominiums and property managers on how to migrate towards compliance with the prohibition while considering the rights of existing pet owners. The CAT found that enacting transition rules, which permitted existing cats to be kept until they passed away but restricted new animals, demonstrated an effort to move towards compliance and was valid.
