If I am an owner in an existing SP then the reform offers me the wording of a by-law that I can have put on the agenda of my next general meeting. A motion likely to fail.
If I am a future owner in a new SP then the reform offers me the opportunity to get a pet before the OC changes the by-law, which is assuming the OC decides to change it.
If I am a developer then the reform offers me the chance to tell a prospective buyer we have a modern and pet friendly by-law OR I can tell the prospective buyer we have the new default pet by-law but it is “easily” changed by the owners. What the developer says depends on how pet friendly the prospective buyer appears. Either way there is a sales pitch.
If anyone bothered to read the mountain of submissions regarding strata reform then they would know the issue was owners in existing strata plans not being able to get their OC to act reasonably.
The reform does nothing to address the issue.
