diabeticman (2,397 posts) http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018714362Update on the condo pet issue thing. ONLY giving a one time update as a few requested.I had EVERY intention to stay away but I got a few PMs requesting I keep them inform. I figure this is the best way to give people the update. The Lawyer visit still has us wondering what happened. We went to see a lawyer about the pet issue considering one set of rules said pets are allow and another said dogs only and the Sec of the condo assoc wrote in her letter to us that ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE HAD PERMISSION TO HAVE PET VISITS. We did not have that right. First the guy said we had a case then we didn't then we did and while talking to him he accused me of "dominating" him and threw us out of his office. So My wife is going to a different way. She is going to try and change the rule. She is going for the big guns and going to change the rule that pets can't live in the units. This is her letter that she wrote to the President and Secretary/Treasure. This is what she sent them: Just because a rule is in place over so many years DOES NOT MEAN IT CAN NOT BE OVER TURNED! I will fight TO MY DYING BREATH to see pet ownership—especially cat ownership is allowed. I will petition my fellow Condo dwellers every week, month, and year to help me overturn this rule. Also you cannot post conflicting rules and decide which rules is going to fit your whims! One posting says pets while another paper says dogs only and IT IS NOT FAIR to give CERTAIN PEOPLE PERMISSION AND NOT OTHERS. This letter is not meant as a threat just an intent to let you know my goal and if it is a long fight with the condo association I will not back down on the issue. Some issues are worth fighting for and in order for this place to feel like a home to me I need a pet(s). I did try your way without a pet but this place feels cold and lonely. I also want you to know had I been allowed to have a visit with a cat I would not even be writing this letter or taking these steps. TO MY DYING BREATH I WILL FIGHT TO SEE PET OWNERSHIP IS ALLOWED: _____ She also now has signs hanging on all our windows facing the parking lot which read Change the Rules. The day we went to see the lawyer the President had the nerve to come out of her unit smiling at us like nothing was wrong and talk to us. My wife was livid she turned to the woman and in a firm tone said Do Not SPEAK to me. The woman looked down shamefully almost like she felt guilty (at least that is how I interrupted her actions) Almost a bounce tale right there... if there were others who saw it and applauded... and of course a cop or even condo security jumping out of bushes...My wife plans on writing to every owner in the two buildings that make up our condo association every week pleading her case as to why pets should be allowed. What's even worse is that earlier this week where going to have direct TV installed. We saw one rule stating satellite dishes are allowed another stating Dish is now allowed as well. So my wife had me go down and make sure we are allowed direct TV. I specifically asked if DIRECT TV could be installed. The Secretary/Treasure said yes. Then when direct TV came and he started to look to see what type of wiring we had she started yelling at the guy that no holes can be drill. Why this psycho didn't tell me this before when I asked I didn't know. The wires in the condo would not support direct TV without having outages. They would have to run new lines. So we couldn't do it. BUT there are a couple units with dishes. SO if they have satellite TV those lines must have been ran so I think this woman is trying to screw with us. that is the only thing I can think. So this is the update a few of you requested. Sorry if it bothers some of you who think I am posting to much. It won't happen again.
R B Garr (1,114 posts) 3. That letter is way too emotional and needs to be toned down.I would ask them in writing to direct my attention to the relevant portion(s) of the CC&R's (or whatever the property covenants are called in your state) that specifically exclude cats during the 48-hour visitation. Absent them answering your request for that portion excluding cats, I would then say that there is no further issue and you will continue to enjoy 48-hour visits with the pet of your choosing and within the guidelines of the covenants. The End. Just something for your future reference: if the HOA has to start sending you letters from an attorney (usually they have one on retainer at their disposal), you can probably expect they will pass those attorney charges on to you in the form of increased fees for those attorney services to obtain your compliance. If you don't pay those fees, it's possible they could proceed to get a judgment against you. It sounds like there is too much emotionalism from both parties. I know it's frustrating, but if they are trying to provoke you so they can document your noncompliance, then they are succeeding. Also, don't piss off any more attorneys. Good luck.
blackcrow (97 posts) 8. yes, reallyIf I were in some position of authority and I got a letter like that, I would assume I was dealing with someone who was bonkers and certainly would not change the rules for them. I would look at trying to get them out of the condo complex, since they probably make their neighbors very uneasy as well. As for getting others recruited to her cause, this is the opposite way to accomplish that. You guys must be nightmare owners.
They are DUmpmonkies. Of course they are ****ing crazy.
First the guy said we had a case then we didn't then we did and while talking to him he accused me of "dominating" him and threw us out of his office.

Someone who was hollow on the inside. This letter just inflates the all ready breathy tension. Seriously, is this woman so thin skinned that she would want a cat with sharp pointy claws? The air pressure must be a little too high...things in this condo just might pop! .
Does anyone else think his next trick is to write the mythical wife out of the story by her dying?
The condo lawyer is holding the wife hostage...he is threatening her with ...a safety pin!

Advice for the lovelorn DUmmie menz.If your love life has hit a rough spot, the bounce is gone and its gone flat on you so to speak, stuff her with sawdust.
She'll make a good punching bag.Maybe she already is.
Watch it there.... you're advocating domestic abuse. If she turns up with a bruise glued to her eye, it could come back to you.
We've assumed that when he said wife that he meant a female. Don't forget that faggot DUmmies also call their partners "wife". His blow up partner may be something like this.
diabeticman (2,405 posts)Help my wife write this letter she plans on sending to everyone in the complex.This is what she has so far:Dear Condo Owner:Just because a rule has stood for several years does not mean it cannot change and I am asking you help me change a current rule which does not allow condo owners to have pets living in the Condo owner’s unit. I am aware of some moving into this complex and having to re-home pets because of confusion about being allowed pets.No we so not know most of our neighbors.My wife is determine to write the residence every week.
This is stupid. Anyone with commonsense would know that an inflatable wife and a cat with sharp claws don't mix.
