Pets are not permitted at any time at Harborside West’s property or within the units, including without limitation lanais, hallways and stairwells, parking areas, carports, dock, pool area, social room, fitness room, and hobby room. No owner, lessee, or guest shall bring or permit another to bring any pet of any size or type to Harborside West or the units.

Any service animal or emotional support animal must be domesticated and housebroken. Service animals and emotional support animals must be leashed, harnessed, or tethered whenever the animal is outside of a unit and the leash, harness, or tether must be held by the animal’s handler at all times. The maximum permitted length of any leash, harness, or tether shall be six (6) feet long. Extendable leashes and harnesses and retractable tethers are only permitted if locked at 6’ long or less.

No service animal or emotional support animal should be out of control or become a nuisance to others. These animals are not pets and should remain on the floor in indoor areas other than the unit itself and at all times should be under the control of the owner or handler as outlined above. Emotional support animals should not be in food preparation areas or food service areas, except this shall not apply to the Owner’s unit. A service animal or emotional support animal may be relieved outdoors on a grassed area provided the animal’s handler immediately removes any solid waste, seals it in a bag, and disposes of it in a dumpster or inside of their own unit. The animal’s owner is responsible for any damage to property caused by the service or emotional support animal. Any owner, lessee, or guest shall notify the Association before bringing a service animal or emotional support animal to the property to avoid confusion regarding whether the animal is a pet.

Any owner, lessee, or guest who requires a service animal or emotional support animal must provide to management the following before bringing the animal to the property.

It may also include an annual lease that is terminated before the completion of the full lease term and replaced with another annual lease within the same rental season.
