Hi everyone,
My partner and I have recently purchased and applied to keep a cat, which has not been approved with no explanation besides noting that “there are no other animals in the building”.
- Are we entitled to a more detailed reason why the approval has not been given?
- Does this count us unreasonably withholding approval? After all, if you decline an application on the basis that there are no animals there will never be animals, which defeats the purpose of having a by-law that allows pets on application.
I have copied the by-law below and our application was based around the fact it’s an existing pet from our past residence and is a companion for my partner while I am travelling overseas for business.
16. Keeping of Animals
(1) Subject to section 49 (4), an owner or occupier of a lot must not, without the prior written approval of the Owners Corporation, keep any animal (except fish kept in a secure aquarium on the lot) on the lot or the common property.
(2) The Owners Corporation must not unreasonably withhold its approval of the keeping of an animal on a lot or the common property.
Thanks everyone.
