Re: How to negotiate by-law changes for pets

Thanks for the tips Whale, I will get the ball rolling with the EC secretary.

Apologies in advance as I am new to the world of strata – would you be able to expand on your comment about strata by-laws being instructive rather than prohibitive? Is this something in the Act or have there been cases which confirm this?

The actual wording of the by-law is “Subject to s49(4) an owner or occupier of a lot must not keep any dog on the lot or common property…an owner or occupier of a lot may keep an animal other than a dog on a lot or common property provided they have first obtained the written consent of the Owners Corporation…”

Cheers
