Former Playboy model Holly Madison has found herself in hot water over the all pink, human-sized dog house that she built in her backyard.
Because of neighbors' complaints, the former star of the Girls Next Door says that the HOA (homeowners association) have been giving her and her boyfriend Pasquale Rotella grief, forcing the couple to pack their backs and find a new home.
The mom-to-be says that she and her beau plan to move out of her gated community and settle in a new home before she gives birth to their first child in March. They have their eyes set on buying a home in the old Vegas neighborhood of Rancho Circle.
"It's the cutest neighborhood, and I love how close it is to downtown. It's quirky and old," she told Las Vegas Weekly cover story during an interview.
Madison explained the controversy over the over-sized dog house: "I built this ridiculous, human-sized doghouse behind my house, and when I went over it with my contractor, he consulted the HOA on all their restrictions and whatnot. He told me it has to match the architecture of the house, so I did that with the roof because people would see the roof. It's possible you could see the roof from the street, but you can't see any of it from the street, actually."
The animal lover also trashed her local HOA and confessed that she doesn't pay the fines that she receives for the doghouse on monthly basis."The HOA (homeowners association) here is so bad, I don't even want to deal with them. They've come after me about the dumbest things. Sometimes it's things that don't even apply to the rules," said the Peep Show dancer.
"They keep fining me for having it painted pink. It's a hundred dollars a month, or something like that. I haven't been paying it. I just keep sending them nasty letters," she explained.
Madison and her boyfriend will also be carrying her dogs named Louis, Napoleon and Josephine and two pet ferrets, Sid and Nancy, to her new home.
"We're selling this house. We thought of renting it, but we're finished here," she said.
