Dear Etta Kitt I’ve noticed that many residents let their dogs run off of their lease in the hallways, the If you have an article of interest or information elevators, the atrium and other common concerning talented or famous MECA residents, please areas. I thought that we had rules that contact the Dialogue. forbid this. Shouldn’t they be enforced? Signed, poked with a wet nose too many times Balcony Man by Scott Virzi

Dear poked, When any group of people share property as in our Malibu East condominium, rules must be set down to govern its use. Rules are established by the developer and later administered and usually revised by the condominium association board of directors. The rules often are forgotten when things are going smoothly, but if they are broken and enforcement is lacking, the result might be that everyone begins to ignore them. A case in point is our rule that dogs be leashed in the common areas inside and outside. Unfortunately, many dog owners, seeing others allowing their pets to run loose tend to follow suit. Infractions of this or of any rule need to be addressed by a written complaint from a resident to the board or association manager who will initially attempt to solve the problem privately through a phone call or a face to face discussion. If this doesn't work in resolving the rule infraction, our legal documents provide effective legal remedies and in extreme cases, there may be times when it is necessary to take a violator to court. Because of the ill will that often results, this should be the last resort and should be contemplated only when all other procedures have been exhausted.
