Hi! Just thought I’d update quickly.
We submitted a second application to adopt my friend’s adult small dog a month ago and have heard nothing back since. We’ve given them 4 weeks and so far, nothing.
We called the strata manager who said that the “EC are discussing the application but no reply has been received.”
Now, my husband is on the EC but he hasn’t been part of any “discussion.” No EC meeting has been convened, no notice of an upcoming meeting has been put up.
My friend wants me to confirm with her soon, as she’s looking after the dog while juggling full time work and a newborn with autism and would like me to help her by adopting it.
How long should I be expected to wait? The strata manager has said that “permission has not been granted, so you shouldn’t keep the dog on the property” but equally, permission has not been withheld, and I feel like they are just delaying their response because they are casting about for more soothsaying reasons to say no!
Should I bring the dog on the property and gather evidence that it is not a nuisance e.g. letters from neighbours to the effect that it doesn’t bark constantly and loudly, and that we are managing waste and hygiene sufficiently while waiting for the EC to get back to us?
