Do we need strata management approval for our dog before purchasing a unit or townhouse? What is a reasonable time frame for a response?
We are in the market for a strata unit or townhouse. We have a dog. Open houses mention the same vague "pets by negation or review". Do we need strata management approval before purchasing the property? What is the obligation for strata management to get back within a reasonable time frame, say seven days?
If the committee are entitled to make this decision, a committee meeting can be called with three days' notice.
The Strata Titles Act states that approval must be received from the corporation to keep pets. The committee can make this decision unless limitations have been placed on the committee. If the committee are entitled to make this decision, a committee meeting can be called with three days' notice.
If the committee is not entitled to make this decision, or if the corporation does not have a committee, the vote will need to be submitted through an extraordinary meeting (EGM). For EGMs, owners are required to receive 14 days notice.
