<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”>The point that seems to be overlooked, is strata legislation/law has been in contravention of property laws/rights for a long time. The Court of Appeal have reminded them that this is not within their powers to do. </span></p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”>Comparing a place of work to people’s homes is a bit strange, people with allergies still go out to Markets, cafe’s and the like where pets aren’t banned. If you have allergies to the degree that some are claiming one vs dozen would not make a difference, the reality is passing a pet and having a pet next door is not going to be an issue and if it is, then I doubt living in an apartment would be the best choice, given all the hidden cats in non-pet friendly buildings. You also can’t stop people who work with pets and have pet dander on them walking past you.</span></p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”>Victoria has no model by-law regarding pets and no cases of allergy deaths, I’m not sure why NSW seems to be clinging onto an extremely outdated model or thinking.</span></p>
