for pets living with residents?

💡 Reasons Why Condos Set Pet Weight Limits
1️⃣. Safety of Other Residents
✅ Large pets, such as big dog breeds, may make neighbors feel unsafe.
✅ Reduces risk of accidents — e.g., pets jumping on people or running into children.
.

2️⃣. Noise Control
✅ Larger pets tend to make louder noises, like barking or heavy movement.
✅ In buildings with thin walls, sound can easily disturb neighboring units.
.

3️⃣. Maintenance of Common Areas
✅ Bigger pets create more pressure on floors and lawns, causing wear and tear.
✅ Helps reduce maintenance costs like lawn repair, elevator maintenance, or lobby flooring.
✅ Some projects have insurance covering shared areas.
✅ If a large pet causes damage or injury, the risk and repair costs are higher —
hence, stricter weight control.
.

4️⃣. Building Structure & Load Design
✅ Most buildings are not designed to handle large animal weight —
including lift and corridor limits.
✅ Some elevators have maximum weight capacity per trip.
.

5️⃣. Rule Management & Dispute Prevention
✅ Prevents conflicts among residents.
✅ A clear weight limit sets measurable standards instead of subjective interpretation.
.

6️⃣. Room Size Appropriateness
✅ Most condo units are compact (28–35 sq.m.).
✅ Large pets need more space; cramped areas may cause stress or aggression.
.

7️⃣. Hygiene Control
✅ Bigger pets produce more waste and require longer cleaning time.
✅ If shared spaces aren’t designed for this, it may cause odor or hygiene issues.
.

8️⃣. Co-living with Other Pets
✅ Some residents may own small pets (cats, rabbits, small dogs).
✅ Allowing big pets may stress or endanger smaller animals.
.

9️⃣. Local Laws or Municipal Regulations
✅ Certain condos follow local ordinances limiting pet weight or breed —
e.g., max 15 kg or specific breed restrictions.
.

🌟 Project Perspective Summary 🌟
Setting a pet weight limit
isn’t just about safety or noise.
.
It’s about risk management,
physical appropriateness,
hygiene,
and peaceful co-living within the community.
