I totally sympathize with you!! I have a different issue but I live in an apartment style condo and my neighbour likes to have noisy all night (including weekdays) parties. the rules say that tenants must be quiet between 11pm to 8 am. One day, I had left and my dog barked for an hour. This is from 7 pm to 8 pm. This neighbour had the gall to leave a note on the door saying, "keep your dog quiet" and not sign the note! I know it's annoying to have a barking dog but it was not all night like their parties - which usually sound like a herd of hyenas.....I don't get it.

Anyway, I think that if you signed a lease allowing you to have your dogs with you, that should stick until the end of the lease. If the condo association wants to change the rules that's fine, but make it effective for NEW owners or renters who take possession by a certain date. And if they want to keep accusing you of not picking up after your dogs, tell them to provide an authentic video and the DNA of the poop as proof. Just because they may be slightly larger than other dogs doesn't mean that the other dogs don't poop as much. Trust me, I have a small breed and she poops like it's out of style! In the meantime, hang in there, December will be here before you know it!
