The Qatar World Cup starts on November 20, and Brazil opens on the 24th in search of the sixth. With the competition approaching, many fans are already decorating their homes and apartments to get into the mood of cheering for the championship.
At this time, those who live in condominiums need to be aware that they cannot overdo the external decorations. As a general rule, it is not allowed to make permanent changes to the facade of apartments, such as painting the wall or balcony in the colors of Brazil, for example.
For Luiz Fernando Magalhães, who is president of the Urban Law Commission of the OAB of the Federal District, what should prevail is common sense. And of course, pay attention to the rules of the condominium before going out decorating everything.
“When we’re talking about a condominium, condominiums have internal regulations, an internal regiment, a definition of how the common areas should be managed. So, I would recommend it to all people who want to decorate their homes, decorate the streets for the World Cup in the world who first had the curiosity to access these condominium rules, its statutes and, perhaps, get in touch with the liquidators, as it is a condominium”, explains the lawyer.
If a resident abuses condominial norms, he will be subject to administrative sanctions, such as fines. And if the rules of a condominium are too strict to allow the decoration of facades for the World Cup, it is possible to promote an assembly of condominium members to vote for the relaxation of these norms.
