## When to use it

Use when an owner applies to TASCAT about a pet under section 36U. A refusal of consent under section 36S(1)(b) must be made within 14 days of the tenant's request. This form is not a termination or possession application. The table lists the respondent as Tenant/s. The lawyer checks who the respondent is. The tool does not write the application.

## Used for these tasks

- [Build the tenancy notice, hearing and bond deadline register](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-tenancies/build-the-tenancy-notice-hearing-and-bond-deadline-register.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check which of the three pet rows applies and whether the 14-day date is on the file. The lawyer writes the application and checks every answer before it is lodged.

**AI may:**

- Record the row the lawyer has chosen: refusal of consent, withdrawal of consent, or an order where no request was made
- List the date the tenant's request was given, where the 14-day row is used
- Flag that the same Word file is also linked for residential park applications on this page

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the reasons for refusal, withdrawal, or an order about the animal
- Must not draft the owner's notice to the tenant
- Must not use this form as a termination or possession application
- Must not treat the file name as a form number or as a commencement date
- Must not sign or lodge the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The application is one of the three section 36U rows, effective 20 March 2026
- A refusal under section 36S(1)(b) is within 14 days of the tenant's request
- A withdrawal application shows that the owner notified the tenant of the intention and the reasons
- The respondent column says Tenant/s. The lawyer checks who the respondent is
- The file name 260504-General-application-September-26-revised is not a form number. The Word file was not opened
- The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
