CHAPTER 3: PET RULES & REGULATIONS

3.1 BACKGROUND
The pet rules and regulations are intended to provide a harmonious environment for all Residents and
pets to coexist peacefully within PJC Complex and its surroundings. Pets have their physical and
socializing needs which are to be fulfilled without getting into conflict with the Resident (persons).
Within the Complex, there are spaces which are either restricted for general human access or require
escorted access e.g. critical establishments of DG Rooms, Water Pump House, Electrical Panel rooms,
Fire Hydrant Equipment, etc. Due to several animal-human conflicts that are in public domain, and that
have traumatized pets, children, ladies, senior citizens and other residents alike - it is in
furtherance of mutual co-existence that certain spaces which are more densely flocked by Residents,
be restricted for pet-walking and those which are dedicated for pets, the Residents can consciously
avoid such places and safeguard themselves. The socially unacceptable behaviour of humans, like
littering, defacement, public nuisance, etc are discouraged by way of penalties. In the same manner,
the socially unacceptable traits attributable to humans who are owning the pets e.g. not cleaning
poop-pee of their pets and unleashing them in common areas, venturing into restricted areas also are
to be discouraged by way of penalties

3.2 CARDINAL RULES ON REGULATIONS ENFORCEMENT

3.2.1 No penalty shall ever be raised against pets on the act of any pet
3.2.2 Penalty shall be raised on Apartment Ledger for the act or omission of the Pet-owners, who
Fail in taking due corrective steps within the prescribed time for an act of pet which is not
in control of pet-owners; OR Fail in taking reasonable preventive steps which are totally in control
