- If it’s irrelevant, the by-law below appears to prohibit pets on “community property” and not within a lot. Is this a fair understanding?
I am thinking our response should be the same since the by-law below implies there is an approval process.

12.1 The keeping of the animals on community property is prohibited, except with the written consent of the Association (other than guide dogs as permitted by Secion 49(4) of the Strata Schemes Act 1996, fish kept in an aquarium and two birds).
