In recent days, the Company for Property in a small district of Jenan, Shandong Province, has issued a circular prohibiting dogs. According to the circular, dogs are prohibited in the sub-regions and poultry, such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc., are strictly prohibited, in violation of which a fine of $1,000 is imposed; renters violate the law with respect to dogs, with joint and several responsibility.
As soon as the circular was issued, the inhabitants of the district who did not like dogs were clapping. It has been argued that the release of dogs not only pollutes the environment in small areas, but also that some dogs bark in the middle of the night and affect the rest of the population. Most importantly, dogs can cause harm to residents. And people who love dogs feel hurt. Some have given away dogs without the will, others believe that their own dogs have certified and passed an annual trial, that they are legal dogs, and that it is unlawful for the company ' s notice to be inconsistent with the dog regulations of the city of Jenan.
Shortly after the incident was revealed, a video posted by a friend of the Internet on Twitter also attracted attention. The chart contains a circular issued on 22 March by the Company for Property of a small district of Xiaoshan, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The circular states that the raising of pets such as cats and dogs is prohibited in the sub-region. Owners who have been raised are asked to take care of themselves within 15 days, and those who have been left behind are left to bear the consequences. Why send such a notice? Staff of the small property company stated that the notice had been issued because of complaints of dog harassment. “In fact, property has no law enforcement powers, and we can only send notice, as much warning and advice as possible. What will happen in 15 days?
Are the provisions of the two sub-districts legitimate?
The law firm Silver Law Office of Henan states that dogs are a legal right of residents and that property companies have no right to prohibit dogs as long as they are processed in accordance with the regulations and do not affect the environment and the safety of others.
According to the regulations governing dogs in the city of Jenan, individuals with legal identification and full civil capacity can have dogs. The Neighborhood (Village) People ' s Committee shall cooperate with the relevant government departments in the management of dogs and in the settlement of neighbourhood disputes arising from dogs in accordance with the law. On the other hand, the Hangzhou canton canine restriction regulations provide for the right of any unit or individual to report illegal dogs to the canine authorities. Units and individuals authorized to keep dogs must comply with the corresponding regulations, and dogs must not interfere with the normal life of others. For the residents of these two localities, dogs may be raised subject to the corresponding regulations, and property companies may not deprive the residents of this right.
In all parts of Henan, there are corresponding regulations and restrictions on the raising of dogs by residents. For example, the Zhengzhou City Dog Management Ordinance provides that city street offices, as well as residential (village) people ' s committees, shall provide information on dogs and civilized dogs among the inhabitants of the village. Individuals are required to sign a bond of obligation for dogs with the resident (village) people ' s committee and the owner ' s committee before raising dogs. In addition, canine-keeping units or individuals should strengthen dog-care management to ensure that dogs do not interfere with the physical safety, rest and well-being of others or with public health. When barking affects the rest of the person, the dogkeeper shall take effective measures to stop it. Disputes and disputes arising from dogs may be mediated and dealt with by the municipal street office or by the local (village) people ' s council.
Property companies have no right to fine
The Administrative Punishments Act stipulates that no other normative document, other than laws, administrative regulations, local regulations and regulations established by the Government, may establish administrative penalties. In other words, no individual or unit has the right to punish a resident for violating the provisions of the regulations, except for the administrative authorities. Property companies simply accept services commissioned by the owner to maintain and manage buildings and their ancillary facilities, and are not entitled to impose fines on residents. If owners and property companies are concerned about the impact of dog farming on the safety and health of the district, a general meeting of owners may be convened by the landlord ' s committee to regulate the management of dog farming in the district in accordance with the law and supervised by the owner ' s committee.
