Pinellas, Florida Coop, not for profit unit owner. The BOD president, gave me verbal permission to place bricks, in a limited area, just covering dead grass, with bricks, some complained, the president denied giving me permission and said she would put for vote with 2 items, vote for patio, and vote for pets. both were voted NO, but the pet owner is related to the president, so I received a letter telling me to remove the patio, I told them that I would, when they remove the pet. Two month later, the BOD hired a lawyer, to tell me that the pet owner (out of the blue )has a doctors note that is in review, and that I have to remove the patio, I dont care for the patio, as much as the lie and selective enforcement by the BOD. I feel I have the right to demand fair treatment. So I requested the results in writting of the review of the letter, they ignored me. I believe that if they are acting with honesty and fairness, they should be able to show me and all the membership, what ever they have to justify not enforcing the majority vote on the pet rule, but only on the patio?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL st 617. ( on the covenants only states, the appearance of the building is not to be changed?

you do not get to refuse to comply regardless of how they treat the other person. You need to comply and then, if you want, complain that the board is not enforcing the mandate from the members.

As it stands now, you both are wrong for non-compliance. That doesn't give you any position to argue the lack of demanding the dog go away.
