I'm sorry this is SO frustrating.
I went through a similar situation in my townhouse when I got Cooper. My neighbors didn't like me (I was 18 & they were 65) but I was always respectful and quiet! They tried to CHANGE the HOA to ban dogs, my dad was quite mad and had his lawyers contact them. My dad purchased the house with the understanding that dogs were allowed. You cannot change the rules after someone buys the house!
From what I understand; They cannot retroactively change the rules about dogs. Your dogs would have to be "grandfathered in", and the new rule about banning a particular dog after multiple offenses could only (legally) be applied to NEW purchasers. This is only my opinion, and understanding from my experience.
GOOD LUCK |
