NSW Q&A: Pets for Units – Can strata say our dog is too big?

Question: Can the Owners Corporation place a limit on the size of pets for units? We have a growing, medium size dog. We are worried strata will decide he is too big to be kept in our apartment.

Answer: Some strata schemes regulate dogs by reference to weight (eg no more than 10kgs), dogs that are not classified as dangerous dogs, or restrict how many may be kept.

Assuming you are not referring to an “assistance” animal, there is no hard and fast rule regarding what is a “legitimate” sized dog.
