I tend to lean on the side of the condo association and I'll tell you why.
Squirrels have a tendency to hide food, and they'll go to any length to do it.....including severely damaging property. I say that as someone who has lived in the woods my entire life and dealt with them every year.....ever been hit with a $5000 bill because a tree rat ate through the wires above your breaker box and INSIDE the walls?..... I have and it was the result of ONE animal stashing his winter supply of hickory nuts. We found literally thousands of them.
If I happened to live in a condo next to this guy I wouldn't want him having it without him signing documents that hold him directly liable for any damages the little furry bugger causes to the building as a whole and my property in the building as well.
He needs to move into a residential home in my opinion though, that would solve most of this. Condo associations/HOA's do not mess around with this kind of stuff and you will often find yourself losing any battle against them.....which is why I turned down several GREAT condos and residential homes in HOA's before I chose my new residence. A guy moving in with numerous snakes? They'll shut you down in a heartbeat if they find out.
