Strata pets

There was a time in strata blocks when “no pets” was the default rule for apartment residents.

When the model by-laws in various states changed to allow residents to apply for permission to keep pets, which could not be unreasonably refused, “we have never allowed pets” was considered to be a reasonabe reason for refusal.

But times have changed and that is no longer the case, as you will read in these posts.

NB: Some of the stories in these pages go a long way back – check the dates as the laws may have changed. Also references to pets may be part of a larger story.
