Good Day Owners,
It has come to the attention of the board by owners and our Landscaping company that pets are being chained to the common property, trees or spikes are being put into the grass outside of their balconies/patios for pets to run freely. This needs to stop immediately or fines will be levied to owners. The grass is being damaged and the feces is making a mess on our landscaping company’s equipment. Please see the Strata’s Bylaw Section 3, Use of Property, subsections 3-8, and our rules of conduct below.
(3) An owner, tenant or occupant must not keep any pets on a strata lot other than one or more of the following:
(a) a reasonable number of fish or other small aquarium animals in a tank not to exceed 25 gallons;
(b) up to 4 small caged mammals;
(c) up to 2 caged birds;
(d) up to 2 dogs, or 2 cats, or 1 dog and 1 cat.
(4) A tenant or occupant staying in a strata lot under a short-term accommodation arrangement (as defined in subsection (9) below) is not permitted to keep a pet in a strata lot.
(5) An owner, tenant, occupant or visitor must not keep any pet in a strata lot that is prohibited in British Columbia under the Wildlife Act and Controlled Alien Species Regulation.
(6) An owner, tenant, occupant or visitor must keep any pet in a carrier or on a leash not exceeding 6 feet in length while the pet is on common property, must ensure that the pet is kept under reasonable control, and must not permit the pet to:
(a) damage any common property or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the common property and common assets by other owners, tenants and occupants;
(b) urinate or defecate on common property or land that is a common asset other than in the area designated by the strata council for this purpose, and must immediately clean up after the pet;
(c) display any aggressive behaviour.
(7) An owner, tenant or occupant who keeps a dog or cat in a strata lot (a “Permitted Pet”) must register the Permitted Pet with the strata council by providing the council with the Permitted Pet’s name, breed, colour, markings, license number (where required), the unit number of the strata lot in which the Permitted Pet will be kept, and the name, telephone number and email address of the Permitted Pet’s owner. The Permitted Pet must at all times be wearing a collar with a tag identifying its owner and the owner’s telephone number.
(8) If a pet has become an unreasonable nuisance or a danger, in the sole opinion of the strata council acting reasonably, the strata council may order the pet to be removed permanently from the strata lot, the common property and common assets, or any combination thereof, giving at least 30 days’ notice.
