Gyeonggi-do Prepares Measures to Improve Management of Multi-Unit Buildings Including Distribution of Standard Management Fee Notices

Gyeonggi Province will support the first management committee meeting upon initial occupancy and distribute standard management fee notices to ensure transparent management and prevent disputes in collective buildings such as officetels.

On the 18th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it has prepared four major improvement measures for collective building management by compiling opinions from the province, city and county governments, and private experts to address blind spots in collective building dispute management.

Collective buildings are structures divided into multiple separate ownership units by design, operated through private autonomy of residents, where various disputes continuously arise regarding the management of common areas such as parking lots, appointment and dismissal of managers, and defect repairs.

Accordingly, in January, Gyeonggi Province held a meeting with city and county governments and private experts to gather opinions and identified four key improvement measures to be focused on: ▲ pilot project supporting the first management committee meeting of collective buildings ▲ distribution of Gyeonggi Province-style standard management fee notices for collective buildings ▲ supervision of collective buildings including disclosure of accounting data ▲ expansion of the Gyeonggi Province Collective Building Legal School functions.

First, the pilot project supporting the first management committee meeting of collective buildings will be promoted. This pilot project helps unit owners who are moving in for the first time after purchasing units to hold a management committee meeting, appoint a manager (representative of the management committee), and start autonomous management, serving as a catalyst.

Additionally, support will be provided for distributing Gyeonggi Province-style standard management fee notices for collective buildings. Until now, collective buildings have varied in use and scale, and management fee items have been numerous, making it difficult for managers to charge fees according to accounting standards. Residents frequently raised objections to unclear fee items or calculation methods, causing conflicts.

Therefore, by distributing standard management fee notices for collective buildings, the province plans to reduce disputes and support transparent operation of management fees. Gyeonggi Province will develop a standard notice form applying common accounting standards such as common charge items, calculation methods, and responsible parties.

Furthermore, accounting audits and supervision will be conducted targeting managers of collective buildings. To check and prevent opaque administrative execution or unilateral use of management fees by managers and other management entities of collective buildings and to raise awareness, the administrative authority will review the appropriateness of accounting data through supervisory rights, thereby strengthening transparency in accounting management.

Gyeonggi Province will also expand the functions of the Collective Building Legal School.

Park Jong-geun, Director of the Architectural Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Since these improvement measures were prepared through in-depth discussions involving the province, city and county governments, and private experts, we expect them to greatly contribute to transparent management and reduction of disputes in collective buildings. Through continuous management improvements, we will ensure that residents secure stable housing and business activities."
