LA SCALA PET RULES & REGULATIONS (unit owner/s to check each box and initial by each box)

□       6. One dog, cats, birds and other quiet and inoffensive appropriate household pets, none of which may be kept or raised for commercial purposes, shall be permitted upon the following conditions:

□       a. No pets shall be permitted in the Common Elements of the building, and pets must be contained in the Owner’s Unit at all times unless entering or exiting the building which shall be conducted only via the service elevators or the service stairs and the lower parking garage, and while proceeding to the area designated by the Board as provided in subsection c.

□       b. A pet being transported while entering and exiting the building shall be under hand-held leash, contained within an enclosed pet carrier or hand-carried at all times.

□       c. Messes made by pets must be removed by Unit Owners or handlers immediately. The Board shall designate the portions of the Condominium Property which shall be used to accommodate the reasonable requirements of Unit Owners who keep pets, as an outdoor area for pet messes.

□       d. Under no circumstances will pit bulls, “wolf hybrids” or other dogs prone to or exhibiting aggressive behavior be permitted on any portion of the Condominium Property.  Pets that are noisy or otherwise unpleasant will not be permitted to remain in the Condominium. In the event that a pet has become a nuisance or unreasonably disturbing in the opinion of the Board, written notice shall be given to the Unit Owner or other person responsible for the pet and the pet must be removed from the Condominium Property within three (3) days. The Board of Directors has the sole discretion to determine whether a pet is a nuisance or is otherwise unreasonably disturbing.

□       e. Guests and tenants are not permitted to have pets.

□       f. Unit Owners who keep pets shall indemnify the Association and hold the Association harmless against any loss, injury or liability of any kind arising from their pet(s).

□       g. All Unit Owners shall register pets (other than fish) with the Association and execute a Pet Policy Statement prior to bringing pets onto the Condominium Property.

I/we have read and fully understand the foregoing pet rules and regulations and I/we agree to abide by them. I/we understand that it is our responsibility to notify the Association of any changes regarding my/our pet(s).

I/we understand that Lee County Ordinance 98-10* requires that all dogs and cats that are four (4) months or older must be vaccinated against rabies and licensed by the county. By licensing pets, the county is able to return lost pets to their owners and to ensure that all pets receive a current rabies vaccination. Veterinarians are required by State Law to notify Lee County Animal Services that their clients’ pets have received a rabies vaccination and whether a county license was purchased.
