    Is there anything on the laws and decisions that: 1. Allow for Blanket Permits. 2. An application and permit for each individual animal, each and every time a new pet is taken whether new or replacement 3. What an application should minimally contain. Acceptability of oral applications. 4. What a permit should minimally contain.

    I think you have to accept that strata law and strata communities’ attitudes have changed. It was once the case that the very idea of pets in an apartment block was considered ridiculous.  Not so now.

    In answer to your questions, if a matter is not specifically forbidden, then it is probably allowed, so you won’t find the rules you seek.  Communities set their own standards through their by-laws.  If they don’t there are plenty of fundamental laws about nuisance – some of which relate to pets – that you can fall back on, in extreme cases.

    However, if the by-law requires written permission, then that is what’s required.  But a tribunal is not going to evict a dog or sack a committee because they gave permission orally or overlooked the fact that one dog had departed and been replaced.

    Decide what it is that you want, specifically, then the Flat Chat community can offer worthwhile advice.
