Here’s a recent case in our block:
- Vacant unit advertised as “pet friendly”.
- Leasing agent asked to correct ad (pet OK with OC permission, reasonable conditions etc).
- Leasing agent said it’s all OK – unit owner is OK with pets, so the ad’s OK, and pets are OK.
- Strata agent informs leasing agent of by-laws.
- Leasing agent says unit owner is OK with pets, so it’s all OK. What are by-laws? (Really.)
No need to reply – just saying that sometimes tenant residents can get inadvertently caught up in issues because their agent doesn’t care/understand how strata properties work.
