[200William-EC] SP 67851 EC Minutes

I totally agree with Diana.

We have far worse things to concern ourselves about in Marquis than dogs and
cats who bring companionship to many single people.

I have been down to the level one lobby to 'sniff' the air down there.
Rather than dog pee, I was overwhelmed by the smell of cigarette smoke!
Overwhelming, because there are insufficient extraction vents in the lobby
ceiling.  Nor are there on any of the lobby floors.

I have lived in the Marquis for 5 years - there are several occupants who
have dogs and I have never... never.. come across a dog who has cocked his
leg in a lobby or in the lift.

I understand there may be owners, who do not live in this building, who
simply want to protect their investments, or their clients' investments, by
flat out refusing to have animals (other than goldfish....purrleaze!)
inhabit an apartment.

However, I believe there is a simple solution.  If an owner is concerned
about what a dog/cat may 'bring' to an apartment, simply have the tenant's
bond increased at the start of the tenancy to cover this or....during the
tenancy.... if/when a tenant brings a dog/cat into a particular apartment.
I have done this in a couple of properties I  own.... and have never had a
problem.

Cheers,

Craig

Dear Maxine and members of the Executive Committe,

I am entirely in agreement with tenant Gianluca who has a dog on agistment
in his flat. we have far worse problems than awell-behaved visiting dog, or
am I misinformed?has the said dog been cocking it's leg where the drunks do?
Or woofing unnecessarily?
I feel that he should be allowed to mind this companion animal while it's
owner is on holiday. 

On reading the by-laws, it does say that the committee should not be
unreasonable about these matters.

Regards,

Diana

Thanks Maxine. 

Regarding the dog in 104, he's been minding the dog since I moved in in
January, so I find that hard to believe that he's just minding it. Also it
does smell of a "dog" on level  1 which isn't pleasant, more regularly in
the hot weather. 

My partner is allergic to dogs and we bought into the building just so we
didn't have to be near any dogs. The thing isn't killing us, but yes we'd
prefer that the dog be removed so it doesn't end up another 8 months
especially coming in to summer.

Thanks

Rowan
