“In fact, we all have to review our by-laws within 12 months after the new strata laws come in on November 30, so that might be his best bet”
Hi there Jimmy, so does this mean that the strata scheme has to make amendments? We live in a conservative strata scheme in Sydneys north. We own. Our strata scheme bans pets. We like a pug so a small breed that is quiet most of the time. We would like to challenge the bylaws with the new bylaw options coming into place. Why are we being punished for have bought 15 years ago and now new strata schemes have to look into this? We just had a general annual meeting and maybe a bew strata manager has been appointed too. How would we talk to owners to see if it is worth challenging the bylaw or should we just apply get refused and then say it is unfair to enforce an old bylaw given that we live in the 21st Century and pets mean way more to us than ever before? I am looking forward to suggestions. I would be happy to stand in the lobby and speak to every single person i meet but most people that live here are tenants so how do i get to the real decision makers?? Plus is it worth us picking this fight with the very strict no pet rule in our strata bylaws? Thanks in advance.
