Is it a illegal to have a No Pets policy if I bought an apartment?

Question

I bought an apartment a few years ago before they came up with a policy that No Pets are allowed. I found a dog recently and I am thinking of keeping it, the only problem is the lady that runs the Apartments/condominiums is telling me I cant have a dog because of the policy. The dog is sweet and adorable and It doesn't bark and it does its business inside the house. The lady also has a dog and her excuse is that she had the dog before the policy was made. Is there any law or anything I can do to prevent from losing the dog or losing the apartment?

Answer 1

you could always do what the people in my building do and get your doc to give you a note saying you need it for your mental health

Answer 2

this is very common in most HOAs.  always read the rules before purchasing a home.  

Answer 3

Probably Not... you might need to get a new appartment... unless you sew or come to an agreement theres nothiing you can do about a policy.. maybe someone in the other rooms is extreamly allergic to animals.. good luck tho i love dogs and i know how you feel because when i lived in an apartment when we had to move they wouldnt let me keep my dog
