    What would happen if a pet (dog) was allowed into a lease agreement, yet, the BC was not consulted for permission, an NTC was sent, and as the days/weeks went by without action, the dog had bit someone?

    Why would there have been no action.  You send the NTC and if the dog hasn’t been removed you pursue the issue directly at NCAT.

    If the dog bites someone, that’s clearly grounds for its removal from the strata scheme under section 156 or section 158 of the Act.  If you are asking who’s liable, it would be exactly the same as a dog biting someone in the street or in the owner’s home – it’s the personal responsibility of the dog’s owner.
