FAQs
If you’re ready to sell or have more questions, you can contact us here.
Can a condo board force me to get rid of my dog?
Yes. If you move a dog into a building without written board approval, or if you violate a specific bylaw (e.g., bringing a 60lb dog into a 30lb limit building), the board can legally issue a removal order. If you refuse, they can take you to court and force the sale of your unit. Never try to sneak a pet in.
What does “Pet-Friendly with Board Approval” actually mean?
It means the bylaws allow pets, but the Board of Directors has the final say on your specific pet. They can deny your application based on breed, size, or even the dog’s temperament history. You should always make your purchase offer “Subject to Condo Board Approval of the Pet” to protect your deposit.
Are there breed restrictions in Calgary condos?
Often, yes. Even if a building has no weight limit, the bylaws may explicitly ban “nuisance” or “aggressive” breeds. Common restrictions include Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, and sometimes even high-vocalization breeds like Huskies or Beagles (due to noise complaints).
Do I have to pay extra condo fees if I have a pet?
Generally, no. In Alberta, condo boards cannot charge a monthly “pet rent” or a non-refundable “pet fee” to owners like landlords can to tenants. However, you are strictly liable for any damage your pet causes to the common property (e.g., scratched lobby doors, soiled hallway carpets).
What if I have an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) or Certified Service Dog?
Service Dogs: Under the Alberta Service Dogs Act, certified service dogs (like guide dogs) cannot be discriminated against and are exempt from standard condo pet bans.
Emotional Support Animals (ESAs): This is a legal grey area in Alberta. Unlike certified Service Dogs, ESAs do not have the same sweeping legal protections. While human rights legislation requires boards to accommodate disabilities, obtaining an exception for an ESA requires extensive medical documentation, and boards can still push back if the animal causes a nuisance.
