Rentals and Condominium Policies in Brazil: what actually matters to know

From real experience

When booking accommodation in condominiums in Brazil, be aware that rules regarding amenity access (gym, pool, sauna) can vary significantly.
Some buildings may restrict access for guests with short-term stays (less than a month), while others permit full access. It is recommended to clarify these rules with the host or check the listing details on platforms like Airbnb prior to booking to avoid potential disappointment.
