Are Pets Legally Allowed In Malaysian Condos? YES!
The question of whether pets are allowed in condominiums and apartments have plagued the worried minds of pet owners for years. The answer has finally been revealed.
One of the most prominent disadvantages often associated with non-landed properties is the long-standing notion of regulations and rules pertaining to pet ownership.
Hence, pet owners seeking out dream homes are often limited to choices of landed properties.
Speaking at the Malaysian Institute of Professional Property Managers’ inaugural conference, lawyer Datuk Pretam Singh of Pretam Singh Nor & Co, lifted the veil on the long-standing issue of pet ownership in strata-titled properties, stating that “…pets are allowed unless they cause annoyance or a nuisance and pose health risks to other residents in the property.”
This, he explained, was according to bylaw 14 in the Third Schedule of the Strata Management (Maintenance & Management) Regulations 2015, whereby the management of stratified titles like condominiums and apartments can only regulate but not prohibit residents from keep pets in their homes.
As more Malaysians begin turning to stratified homes for various reasons like their location within or close to the city, it is crucial that more residential developments are seeing the need to allow pets within these properties.
An increasing number of new developments have begun to take on the “pet-friendly” approach. In any case, it is always best to discuss with the management, and be considerate of your neighbors. Ensure that your environment is hygienic, the pets are well cared for, and do not cause disturbances.
So, YES — you are legally entitled to keep a pet in a condo. If the condo management says otherwise, do point them to the legal references.
