So say I've got a unit in a development.

I think, oh, those neighbors are being a bit pesky with that dog.

We vote to have no pets anymore.

Does that person have to then get rid of the pet?

Because that would be pretty sad for that owner, right?

But similarly, like the comment around, you know, with the Labrador example,

Once the Labrador's there, there is no trial period with a pet.

Once you've had the pet and you've decided you love it, you can't just take it away from someone six months later.

I mean, you know, my position on cats is more the merrier.

Yeah.

I'm basically a couple of years off just being a recluse with a bunch of cats.

But I do think that, you know, often when you see people with three or more cats, they're probably the type of people that will allow kind of more damage to happen.

That is an absolute generalization.

But anywhere that I've been to where people have got more than three or more cats, it smells like cat piss.

And just quickly, you know, the things that are not going to be considered reasonable for refusing a pet are things like

I don't like dogs.

Now that's me.

I don't like dogs as much as I like cats, but my personal preference doesn't make a lick of difference to the law.

Another one that people might want to consider is if you've just settled a brand new property and you think, well, it's brand new, the carpet's new, that's also tough luck.

That's why you can take a pet bond now.
