Understanding Strata Laws

Strata properties, with their shared facilities and closeknit community, often come with a unique set of rules. Think of these as the community's very own 'house rules'. Among these are regulations about our beloved pets. Most owners corporations will require you to write to the strata manager if you have a pet or want to get one. Check the scheme’s by-laws to see what the process is and what information is needed for approval.
