On Tuesday, October 17th, a new law was sanctioned by the mayor of Uberlândia, Paulo Sérgio, which prohibits residents and consumers from demanding that delivery workers enter the internal areas of vertical condominiums or go up to the doors of apartments and businesses. The law is aimed at ensuring the safety of both the delivery personnel and the residents by providing a more structured and secure process for deliveries. This law will come into effect immediately from the date of sanctioning.

According to the publication in the Municipal Official Diary (DOM), the city administration still has the ability to further regulate the application of this law. The local news outlet, G1, attempted to contact the Uberlândia City Hall to inquire about any plans for regulatory measures related to the implementation of this new law, but they had not received a response by the time of their reporting. The law specifies that all deliveries must take place at the entrance of the building or at another location pre-approved by the condominium administration, aiming to streamline delivery processes in high-density housing areas.

This legislation primarily affects delivery workers associated with digital platforms or autonomous service providers and comes in response to growing concerns about safety and security in residential areas. By setting these regulations, the law seeks to protect not only the delivery workers from potentially dangerous situations but also to create a structured approach that could lead to improved cooperation between residents and delivery services, ultimately enhancing the safety of residential environments in Uberlândia.
