We have just purchased an apartment with bylaws stating one dog is allowed but it must be under 10 kg. We have two dogs and they are both larger than 10kg. What if the Body Corporate rejects our request for permission for our two dogs?
We have recently purchased an apartment in Caloundra and we are just about to request permission for our dogs. We have two Scottish Terriers. The bylaws state we are allowed only 1 dog and it must be under 10kg. Our fully grown male is 15kg and the puppy will end up being around 12kg. How do we go about requesting permission when we have one additional dog and they are both over the required weight?
We notice the building manager has two dogs, so we weren't concerned about the bylaw when we purchased. The property settles next week.
What are our options if the Body Corporate rejects our request for permission for our two dogs?
If there is a refusal, it probably comes more from ignorance than intent.
That’s what the Commissioner’s Office is for. Ideally though, if there is a refusal, it probably comes more from ignorance than intent, so it might be best to do a little educating of the committee as part of the application for consent in the nicest possible way.
