When health worker Georgia Dawson applied for permission to keep her dog in her apartment, she was stunned to be told her building was considering imposing a bond on all pet owners of $2000.
A later landmark judgment by the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal [NCAT], however, found that buildings still had the right to charge pet-owners as much as $300 to cover the ‘administration cost’ of applications. “These were designed to ensure strata complexes are animal-friendly but this is a blatant attempt to get around the new laws, and effectively block people from sharing their home with an animal by making it financially prohibitive. This affects the ability for families to rescue animals in pounds, or for victims of domestic and family violence to seek new accommodation with their companion animals.“Wolter Peeters.
It recommends its Department of Customer Service continues to monitor the operation of the new pet-friendly laws to ‘determine whether further legislative change is necessary’ to prevent such moves.
It’s cruel and vain keeping any dog in an apartment. Especially if they have to spend time alone. And also, why should neighbours who may not like or want a dog inevitably have to put up with doggie vibes of a neighbour’s dog❓Unfair❗️
Looks like a perfect dog for an apartment.
Excellent news
When I was in Spain many years ago everybody seemed to keep big dogs in apartments. The streets were covered in dog Pooh. It was awful. Dogs need backyards to run in.
Thats not absurd.. that’s to be expected. What would have been absurd is the strata making it easier and welcoming!
Anyone want to tell me what happened so i dont have to click 😜
Should start having $2000 bonds for having kids then
