Simplification Of Strata Law – Repeal Provisions For The Consent To Keeping Animals
Strata pet approval processes remain complex, creating unnecessary disputes and administrative burdens. Should outdated by-laws be scrapped in favor of a simple, law-prescribed notification system, or is the status quo here to stay?
Nothing gets a strata meeting buzzing, like a debate about keeping pets.
Owners corporations should not unreasonably ban pets and it's unlawful in most places (Cooper’s case). However, unreasonable by-laws and approval processes for keeping animals still exist. These can be complex, subject to abuse, and create conflict.
If these ad hoc procedures were prohibited, and replaced with reasonable conditions for keeping pets prescribed by law, the work of strata managers and committees would be simplified. All pet owners would then have to do is notify the strata manager they have a pet, and comply with the statutory conditions.
What could be easier – scrap by laws and ad hoc processes for pet approvals, or do they stay?
