Q: I have a small Shih Tsu poodle in my highrise apartment block. Am I allowed by law to have a second dog if I comply with all our body corporation rules?

It is best to check your by-laws to find out if there is a limit on the number of pets you are able to have in your body corporate property. If it is unclear, speak to someone from your body corporate committee, or your body corporate manager.
