Living in downtown Toronto just got slightly more expensive for dog owners in at least one King West condo building.

“Unfortunately some dog owners are not taking responsibility for their dogs, and are allowing them to defecate and urinate on the common elements, and bring in extra debris without cleaning up after them.”

Because of this the board is implementing a “pet rule” requiring dog owners to pay $15 per month, per dog, to subsidize the cost of spot cleaning.

The new rules will go into effect on May 2, at which point these charges will automatically be added into the affected residents’ condo fees – unless someone sics a lawyer on the board first.
