Hi Mark
It does depend on the wording of the by-law. However, it would be unreasonable for the owners corporation to make a by-law that does not provide a condition to allow the current owners, who have had prior consent, to keep their pets in the premise.
We are happy to assist you in any way we can.
Kind regards,

Thankyou for your respone Simone,
Does that mean they can state that from a certain date all pets other than 'one animal' are not to reside in the unit? even if they have been living there for 15 months before the by-law comes into effect?
I guess it depends on the wording of the by-law then.
Once i receive the draft letter, i might contact you directly for legal advice on this situation.
Thanks again,
Mark

Hi Mark
If the by-law provides for this new condition to apply to owners and occupiers after the new by-law is enacted, this should not effect your current situation, assuming you had obtained the required consent from the owners corporation to keep your pets under the superseded by-law.

I have a further quetion regarding bringing in a new changes to strata laws.
I have just received a strata minutes stating "the executive commitee RESOLVED THAT the strata manager draft a letter to all owners advising that no more than 1 animal is to reside in the unit at any one time".
This directly affects us because we are the only owners to have two dogs while other owners only have one dog. I suspect it is a way of trying to force us out!
When you state " that they only apply to circumstances created after the law is enacted"….does that mean it only applies to new owners moving in or is it to current residents?
I am quite worried about where this will go!
Your advise would be very much appreciated.
