    Hi Jimmy, Could strata plans restrict the type of pets? Allow gold fish or birds but not dogs or cats for example.

    You have to look at the fundamentals of the ruling – that by-laws can’t prevent people from doing what they want provided their choices don’t impact negatively on ther neighbours.  From that perspective, banning cats and dogs would be harsh.

    However, since the OC can create by-laws about what can and can’t happen on common property, you might be able to pass a by-law that says animals must be carried in the lift or across common property.
