Q. Do I need to apply for consent to keep a pet at my property?

Answer:

Most leases require the consent of EWS for the keeping of a pet in an apartment. This is for the protection of your neighbours and the building as some pets can cause a nuisance or damage to the common parts.

Generally, EWS are only concerned with larger pets such as cats or dogs, and will usually give consent for smaller pets subject to some reasonable conditions.
