In Brazil, condominiums (condomínios) are extremely common, especially in major urban centers like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Condominium residents typically form associations or boards to manage shared spaces and enforce building rules. The term 'condômino' is frequently used in legal and formal contexts in Brazil, while 'morador' is more colloquial. There is often a strong community aspect, with monthly meetings and shared decision-making about building maintenance and governance.
