Charles Street
Pet & Service Animal Policy
Pets and service animals are welcome at University Family Housing. Residents are expected to comply with the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 349, Animals and U of T’s AODA Office Service Animal Guidelines.
At University Family Housing we understand that pets are part of the family. Both our Charles Street and Huron-Sussex communities are pet friendly, but there are a few rules and responsibilities our residents need to follow to make sure their pets and neighbours are happy! 💙🐾

Pet Policy Rules and Reminders
Pet dogs and service dogs must be leashed in public spaces; all other animals (e.g., cats, guinea pigs, birds, etc.) must be controlled through appropriate restraint methods such as a carrier.
Pets are prohibited on the Ellen Giles Rooftop Garden and the playground. This policy reflects similar restrictions in the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 608, Parks, which prohibit pets on playgrounds and in other public areas.
Owners/handlers are solely responsible for their animal’s behaviour and must meet reasonable standards regarding behaviour, noise, odour, and waste.
Owners/handlers are expected to take dogs offsite to use the bathroom and refrain from using pee-pads or artificial grass porch potties. To protect building systems, the use of flushable waste products (e.g., kitty litter) is strictly prohibited.
Have a question or concern regarding an animal at UFH? Please contact communications.ufh@utoronto.ca. Residents may also contact the AODA Office at aoda@utoronto.ca.
