So, the situation is difficult because there were originally 3 apartments, but previous owners bought two and turned it into one. This means our new neighbours (who bought that lot) have voting rights of 60% while we have 40%. I’m ASSUMING they cannot just use their larger percentage to vote for a benefit for themselves.
I’m pretty sure our by-laws say no pets without agreement, and we verbally agreed to them bringing the dog when they were looking at buying the place. But there’s certainly nothing about pets being allowed on common property.
We really hope to come to some agreement. But we returned from holidays this morning to find that they moved the dog bed down there. When I told her again today that we did not agree to the dog being there she said, “We’ll have to talk about it.” They are used to getting their own way but while we don’t want to get adversarial, we have consulted a lawyer to establish our rights. Sigh.
