KEB, in your most recent post (I think… I’m not liking what I think is the ‘pin a post to the top’ thing) I refer you to the ‘Roos rant in the 6/4 post, one of the best things I’ve read in Flat Chat. Take it away Roo:
“Why is sorting out this mess the OC’s job?
“Particularly for tenants who may be on a 6 or 12 month lease.
“Calling meetings, writing minutes, appearing at the CTTT to justify their position, appearing again at the CTTT to seek an order for removal of unauthorised pets, etc, etc.
“EC members are people too! And entitled to the quiet enjoyment of their lot. I’m not referring to barking, I’m referring to other residents dumping their self-inflicted problems in their lap.
“BTW, fear of noise, smell, soilage and wandering are not the only reasons some schemes ban pets. What if there are other residents with allergies? What about other owners who bought into a scheme because it was pet-free by By-Law? How do you quantify their loss?
Thanks for telling it like it is, Roo!
