Some of our residents walk across the field in the morning and evening, as part of their daily get to, and from, work routine. The last thing they want is crap on there shoes, from some inconsiderate pet owner who allows their dog to do its business under the cover of darkness. You may remember from an earlier post where I mentioned that, living in a sectional title scheme requires equal measures of tolerance and consideration. Hello, this one of the times you should show some consideration, remember you are part of a community. The common property is not some untamed piece of veld its our extended garden.
But let's see what the Sectional title conduct rules say about common property.
PART IX
OWNERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND BUILDINGS (ss 44-51)
44 Duties of owners
(d)use and enjoy the common property in such a manner as not unreasonably to interfere with the use and enjoyment thereof by other owners or other persons lawfully on the premises.
'Not unreasonably to interfere' is the key phrase here - leaving your dog turds' on the field is unreasonable.
On behalf of owners who have had to endure the embarrassment and pure anger of stinking up the lift club pool car or bus, from your dogs’ faeces. Please observe what your beloved pet is doing and pick up after them - should your dog have a case of the runs (diarrhea), throwing a jug of water over the mess will usually suffice. We have an amazing piece of open property for our enjoyment, lets make the effort so that it can be enjoyed to the full.
nice topic!!
