Pets

We know how important your pet is to you. LMCH requires all tenants to be compliant with municipal and county bylaws while on LMCH property. If you are deemed to be in violation of a bylaw, you could being fined by Bylaw Enforcement, and/ or your tenancy could be at risk.

You are responsible for your pet’s behaviour as well as the behaviour of the pet of a visitor or guest:

Keep your pet on a leash in common areas (e.g., hallways, lounges, entryways).
Never leave the pet alone on your balcony in a high-rise or in the backyard of a townhouse
Ensure that the pets are properly cared for and that all requirements for animal control (including licensing, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering) are complied with at the tenant’s expense.
In the interest of health and safety, pet(s) are to be confined in a separate area if requested by staff or contractors working on the premises. Failure by the Tenant to do so may result in a refusal to work in unsafe conditions and a delay in repairs. For pest treatments, refer to instructions given prior to treatment.
Stoop, scoop, bag, and dispose of the pet’s waste, responsibly, every time.
Use outdoor garbage bins to dispose of pet waste when out for a walk.
Cat litter is never to be discarded in the toilet.
Always double bag all pet waste - including litter and cage linings securely for garbage chute disposal.
Ensure that pets:

Do not damage property or the belongings of others
Do not use the balcony as bathroom
Are not a nuisance or creates unreasonable disturbances (e.g., excessive barking, other examples)

Important: Each municipality has different bylaws for pets, including the number of pets you can have in your unit and which pets require a license. Learn more about pet bylaws by visiting your municipality or county website.
