In B.C., if you have a pet and the building management changes the rules, current pets are grandfathered in. A couple of my friends have two labradoodles and about 2 years ago, the management for their building changed to a no pets rule and a group of pet owners in the building ended up in court over it. The judge agreed that the mass of previous precedents allowed them to keep their pets.
OTOH, the building one of their children lives in has weird rules such as all pets must weight under 6kgs and no more than one pet per apartment. One of their neighbours complained about another neighbour who had multiple pets in their apartment. It turned out that the neighbour's child had guppies in a small aquarium. Evidently guppies like rabbits tend to count 1, 2, many.
