I have a pet, I cannot figure out the pet policy, help!
Natick Village is a condominium, not an apartment complex, so there are two sets of rules that need to be followed; one is the association rules and regulations, and the second is the owners rules and regulations. Natick Village as a Condominium allows up to one pet per unit, with no breed or size restriction. However, the individual owner has every right to set their own pet polity, so long as it adheres to or is more stringent that that of the condominiums. The quick answer is that the owners do not have to allow pets if that is their preference, whether or not the complex does, so pet policies are on a case by case basis.
