Absolutely, and more and more residents are doing it. However, living with a dog on a few dozen square meters alongside dozens of other families does require some extra attention.

Request the internal rules from your syndic before bringing a dog into your home. This way, you know your rights and obligations and avoid discussions with the association of co-owners afterwards.  <\/p>\n                    \n                                    <\/div>\n                                            <div                                        class=\"usp-item flex flex-col dashed-border-custom-responsive md:px-3 group\"\n                >\n                                            <div class=\"usp-icon mb-4 text-accent-400\">\n                            <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" class=\"w-16 h-16\" role=\"img\">\n<path d=\"M1.752 17.3279C3.288 15.9999 4.496 14.9119 5.376 14.0639C6.272 13.1999 7.016 12.3039 7.608 11.3759C8.2 10.4479 8.496 9.51989 8.496 8.59189C8.496 7.63189 8.264 6.87989 7.8 6.33589C7.352 5.79189 6.64 5.51989 5.664 5.51989C4.72 5.51989 3.984 5.82389 3.456 6.43189C2.944 7.02389 2.672 7.82389 2.64 8.83189H0C0.048 7.00789 0.592 5.61589 1.632 4.65589C2.688 3.67989 4.024 3.19189 5.64 3.19189C7.384 3.19189 8.744 3.67189 9.72 4.63189C10.712 5.59189 11.208 6.87189 11.208 8.47189C11.208 9.62389 10.912 10.7359 10.32 11.8079C9.744 12.8639 9.048 13.8159 8.232 14.6639C7.432 15.4959 6.408 16.4639 5.16 17.5679L4.08 18.5279H11.688V20.8079H0.024V18.8159L1.752 17.3279Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<title>number-2<\/title><\/svg>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n                                            <span class=\"usp-title text-2xl font-medium mb-6\">Keep the common areas clean<\/span>\n                    \n                                            <p class=\"usp-description text-base font-light\">The entrance hall, elevator, and stairwell belong to all residents together.
