The Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (ALERJ) has approved legislation to establish the ‘Condomínio Amigo dos Animais’ (Animal-Friendly Condominium) seal. The bill aims to promote peaceful coexistence between pet owners and other residents by addressing common conflicts such as noise and cleanliness in shared spaces.

To qualify for the certification, residential complexes must incorporate animal welfare and protection measures into their internal regulations. Requirements include providing designated common areas for pet recreation, such as signaled parks, plazas, or gardens, and maintaining hygiene in shared spaces. Once certified, condominiums are permitted to use the seal in their advertising and informative materials.
