    tony – you have posted three times on what is essentially the same issue, it is easier if you can do it in one post.

    As a general comment, “unjust” is an elastic concept and can be highly subjective.  What one person may believe is unjust in the circumstances, another will believe is reasonable.  The issue in strata is usually whether something is reasonable.

    In the case of by-laws, if the required proportion of owners determine that they want certain rules in place, which may include prohibiting animals, that is what the majority of owners have decided. You have mentioned another issue in relation to outside furniture – many schemes have rules like this, and other rules providing that window treatments must conform to a certain type and colour.  There is nothing unreasonable about that. Other rules that go to matters which are not the concern of the OC may be determined to be unreasonable.

    I love animals and own a dog – I would never suggest that banning animals is a good idea. But I can’t say it is unjust.
