## What do you think? Question:

I have had numerous tussles with my board because they do not enforce the [bylaws](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/bid/8763/Sample-ByLaws-for-a-Condo-Association-or-HOA.aspx). No pets. Our bylaws say no pets. About a year ago an owner was selling their unit but the buyer had a cat and was told, no, she couldn't have a cat. The sale fell through only to be bought by another person a long six months later. The board then decided to do a survey: do we want to [allow pets](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Pets) in order to make our condos sell better? Half of the owners said no and half of the owners said yes. Therefore, the board determined this was no. It was at that time I found out there were three cats on the premises and this was known for quite some time. Since then the board keeps saying, month after month in their meeting minutes, that they are going to be drafting a letter to these three owners. Meanwhile, my condo has been vandalized. Someone squirted Crazy Glue (or something) in my key locks to my unit door facing the corridor. I can no longer lock my door when I leave. Someone has fired two bullets through my garage door, and now I have two bullets in my car. The caretaker / owner / also board member has an idea of who might have done it - a person with a cat who thought I was creating all of this fuss about getting rid of cats and has been very vocal about it. If so, has the board been negligent in not enforcing the no pets rules - the violation of which dates back months and months ago? I live in Minnesota
