Pet rules in buildings can be a serious source of tension. Some societies are fully pet-friendly, others officially allow pets but have lots of unspoken resistance, and a few have strict restrictions.
If you already have a pet, or plan to get one, asking clearly about the rules before moving in is essential. Are pets allowed in lifts? Any size limits? Are there restrictions on using certain entrances? What’s the attitude of neighbours?
Even if you don’t have pets, it’s good to know. If you’re allergic or very uncomfortable around animals, a highly pet-friendly complex might not suit you.
Clarity up front avoids ugly fights later—no surprise notices, no arguments in meetings about “new” rules that were never discussed with you.
