Others in the complex have not complained because the dog’s immediate neighbours are tenants who have no idea of their rights and are shy of bothering their landlords;
You know this, how? They told you? They asked you what their rights were? Seems like a generalised assumption to me.
We were given forms to fill in with multiple questions and were informed that the SC has 14 days to render an opinion. No such hurdles were positioned when the tenant of an SC member moved a dog in.
So your dog application was minuted but the committee member’s wasn’t? And they didn’t have to fill in the same forms that you did? There seem to be a lot of assumptions being made here.
Did you ever submit a motiong requesting clarification to the committee? Maybe there’s been a change in SC policy sine you applied, following the Court of Appeal ruling.
In any case Section 156 and Section 158 of the Act, respectively deal with animals that have not been given permission under the terms of by-laws, or have been given permission but prove to be a nuisance.
But maybe the problem isn’t the dog, but the procedure and the people involved, and that is another matter entirely.
