My apartment association is not allowing pet (dog) to use passenger lift and ask us to use only service lift along with the pet. I want to know is there any such rule and association can issue and also what should I do to remove such rules
Dear Client, As per your query, it is important to know that Indian laws would most likely term such a restriction by the apartment association as arbitrary and unenforceable. As per the guidelines of Animal Welfare Board of India or AWBI, residents cannot be barred from using common facilities like lifts with their pets. Courts have reinstated such rights of pet owners, stating that such a restriction is tantamount to discrimination. You may formally write to the association stating AWBI guidelines and apply to file a complaint with the AWBI or take legal recourse in consumer courts for your rights. Hope this answers your query.
