Gyeonggi Provincial Government Gwanggyo New Office Building

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is revising the apartment complex management regulations, including the 'mandatory disclosure of meeting minutes.'

On the 14th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it has revised and implemented about 70 items in the "Apartment Complex Management Regulations Guidelines," reflecting recommendations from the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission and opinions from residents.

First, for apartment complexes with 300 or more households, the minutes of the residents' representative meetings must be disclosed to satisfy residents' right to know. This follows the revision of the current Apartment Complex Management Act. However, for complexes with fewer than 300 households, the residents' representative meeting may decide not to disclose the minutes, allowing for autonomy.

For the first time among cities and provinces nationwide, the guidelines incorporated the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission's recommendations on preventing corruption. When hearing opinions regarding the renewal of contracts with housing management companies, information such as management performance must be provided to enable residents' reasonable judgment.

Additionally, to verify the appropriateness of management fee charges, the maximum, minimum, and average management fees for households of the same size must be notified. To ensure the quality of external audits, the audit report must indicate the auditors involved and the hours spent on the audit.

Other measures include ▲establishing guidelines for preventing and responding to harassment of apartment complex management workers ▲introducing standard forms to facilitate apartment complex election management ▲improving procedures for operating and leasing daycare centers within complexes ▲and establishing grounds for using miscellaneous income as management fee deposits.

The Apartment Complex Management Regulations Guidelines are standards designated by city and provincial governors to protect apartment residents and maintain residential order regarding the management and use of apartment complexes.

The 4,190 complexes in the province subject to mandatory management with 300 or more households will refer to the revised guidelines and proceed with revising their apartment complex management regulations suitable for each complex with the approval of the majority of residents.
