ANIMALS

1. Animals are household pets. Animals, their food and water containers, litter boxes, (in the case of cats) must remain in the house, patio or balcony. Animals may not be staked or tied up in common areas at any time.

2. Dogs must be kept on a leash and controlled by a capable person at all times when outside of the units, and must be restrained so as to neither create a nuisance or pose a threat to pedestrians. Cats are not allowed to roam the common areas unattended.

3. Pet owners must always clean up after their pets and MUST pick up animal defecation immediately. Pet owners should carry “pooper scoopers” or other appropriate devices for the immediate removal of animal defecation. Litter boxes kept on balconies and patios should be kept clean so as not to attract pests or cause unwanted odors. Animal waste must also be picked up from owners backyards as not to attract pests or to cause odors.

4. Animals are not permitted in the pool area at any time.

5. Residents must ensure that their pets do not disturb other units. Excessive pet noise will not be tolerated.

6. Owners are financially responsible for any damage their pets do to landscaping or other common areas.

7. Homeowners must comply with all governmental laws and regulations regarding types of animals that can be housed in residential areas, and animal maintenance and control. All complaints concerning pets should be made in writing to the Board for adjudication.

Owners/Residents MUST ensure that their pets adhere to all Cascade Gardens Rules and Regulations as well as state and local law.  The Board may seek the removal of a pet for repeated violations or complaints. If a dog demonstrates aggressive behavior and/or is determined to be a liability concern, the Board will request its immediate removal from the property.
