Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, people have been spending a lot more time in their residential accommodation and consequently, everyone wants a pet!
In NSW and VIC, walking an animal became one of the few outdoor activities that were tolerated under the restrictions. For people's mental health, the joy of keeping a pet in their residential accommodation has been a priority to many.
So how does this impact within our Strata world? Basically, more people are seeking to have a pet (or two) within their scheme.
As a consequence, all bodies corporate (through their committee) should look at the wording of their "pet/animals" by-law and ensure that it is suitable for their scheme.
