I am glad to hear that things are getting better. I am not trying to be argumentative, but if your landlord is making deals with his tenants that are against the rules of the association, that is his problem/fault, not the condo association. I am fairly sure that anyone who already has dogs that owns a condo (not sure about renters) are grandfathered in when there is a change in restrictions. Check with an attorney, if your landlord is telling you that you need to get rid of the dog because of the change in rules, you may still be protected until the end of your present lease. If he is telling you that you have to get rid of your dog because you are not picking up after it, get a copy of the condo association rules, to make sure that they are enforcing the same standards for everyone. I don't think they can take your dog away from you because you didn't pick up their poo. (ETA: I just reread this and it sounds like I am saying that you aren't picking up after your dog. I didn't mean to make it sound like that is what is actually happening, but I was just responding to the charges that have been made.) Logically, I would think the only thing they could do is fine you (or in this case your landlord, which is where the problem lies). In any case, I hope that the next three months are fairly quiet neighbor-wise.
