Laws Governing Pets in Sectional Title Properties
Category Article
Owning pets in sectional title properties is subject to body corporate rules. The default position in most sectional title schemes is a "no pets" policy unless prior approval has been given. The body corporate can impose reasonable conditions on pet ownership, such as requiring written consent or limiting the number and type of pets allowed.
Key Points
- Written permission from the body corporate is needed.
- Conditions may include the pet's size, breed, and noise levels.
- Failure to comply with pet rules may lead to penalties or required removal of the pet.
Refer to the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA) for more on rules regarding pets: STSMA No. 8 of 2011.
