Effective Rules & Enforcement
Rebecca Shiland, Esq. | Jensen Baird
Pets, service animals and support animals are not the same under the law. Failing to understand the difference can be costly for associations. Find out how boards should handle these requests, understand FHA guidelines and other regulations, and learn how to create enforceable rules that don’t exceed the board’s authority or the letter of the law. The principles learned in this session will apply beyond handling of pets to other types of FHA requests and development of rules and regulations generally.
