TBH - I was only thinking of this in terms of rental property. In which case I agree with both smoking and animal bans. And yes - if you move into a property where cats aren't allowed, you can't bitch about it afterwards.

However I didn't realise that we were talking about whole communities of people who own and will sell their own homes, being told what they can and cannot do inside them. Wow. Land of the free...?
