But I agree with the persom that said maybe all of us can confront the new owners in peace and plead to them that we came here for the the love of our pets. This place is known as an excellent pet home! I know for a fact we would all be willing to pay more of a pet deposit just to keep our babies here. (not to forget I already paid a $1000 pet deposit!) But if they let me keep her and my dream home I am willing to pay more!

I think I would find another attorney. I think that claUSE IN AND OF ITSELF IS ILLEGAL. tHAT IS LIKE SIGNING A BLANK CONTRACT. I just don't think it is legal in any contract to state that the contract can be changed at any time.

I think I would let them evict you, they cannot force you to pay the $6000 fine if they evict you which is basiclally letting you out of your lease

I will try not to make this too long winded. I have been a member here for a year and got my Pokey last October. I cannot have children so Pokey is my true baby. This last April I finally got my dream condo that I have been on a 6year waiting list for! Its been my dream for so long. In my complex there are 2 beautiful dog parks and all animals, even large dogs are accepted here. The community is gorgeous with walking trails, a river and the most dog friendly people. Well, the community sold to a new owner and that owner gave notice last month that ALL pets are now banned and we got a 60 day notice to vacate or remove pets. If we vacate however, they say we are breaking the lease, and for my 2 year lease I would pay a $6000 fine to move. Plus I am SO HAPPY here. I am so torn. Pokey can stay with my family nearby and will be very happy if I choose to go that route but I dont know if I can separate from her. But I cannot afford another move and the fine. Because Im in a lease, I am considering hiring an attorney with my other tenants (about 150 are willing to try to sue if we have any basis) I should be able to keep her here as a part of my lease agreement until the lease is up or be let out of my contract. But there IS a clause in my lease stating if the property is sold we MUST abide by the new owners lease/rules immediately. If I had known they might sell, I would not have purchased Pokey until I was sure. But back in October when I was at the top of the condo waiting list, they ASSURED me it was ok to get my baby and bring her there with me. So now if I have to rehome her and pay a fine I just am so torn.

What I am asking my fellow YTers for is understanding, support, advice and reassurance. PLEASE try not to make me feel anymore guily for even considering giving Pokey to my parents. I already feel like I m giving a child away and I feel like an unfit Mom. It has taken me a month to post this because Im so scared some people on here may scorn me. Please just tell me what you would do and try to understand my dilemma. This is my dream home. I would NEVER have done this to an animal had I been given the slightest inkling this could happen. 60% of why I waited so long for this home was because of the animal loving communtiy and the 2 dog parks WITHIN my residence. When I got word I was next to move in I started my LONG awaited Yorkie search and was blessed with my Pokey. I will stop rambling. Please just go easy on me with your comments. Thank you so much. I really need your support right now. I dont ever remember being this depressed in all my 35 years :(
