For example, if you have a dog, you get to keep your dog until you no longer have that dog. But if you don't have a dog, you don't get to ignore the new bylaw and get a dog (contrary to the new bylaw) because you're an original owner.

Theory sounds correct. I don’t know the details but my moms always been grandfathered into no rental restrictions with her units. Despite having no tenant previous to any new bylaws. Saying that, she is a realtor and maybe did write some “clauses”.
