The main amendments include ▲establishment of a new chapter ‘Consideration and Duties of Multi-family Housing Members’ (Chapter 12) ▲improvements to the operation of the Residents’ Representative Meeting and Election Management Committee ▲strengthening the role of the Inter-floor Noise Management Committee and specifying dispute mediation procedures ▲guaranteeing residents’ rights and enhancing management efficiency.

According to the content, if inter-floor noise continues despite the management entity’s recommendations and there is a request from residents, etc., it becomes mandatory for the management entity to request dispute mediation from the Inter-floor Noise Management Committee. Additionally, procedures such as holding meetings of the Inter-floor Noise Management Committee, fact-finding investigations, mediation requests, and the obligation of parties to cooperate are specified.

The ‘Gyeonggi Province Multi-family Housing Management Regulations’ serve as a standard for the management or use of multi-family housing to protect residents and maintain residential order. Complexes subject to mandatory management with 300 households (or 150 households if there is an elevator) or more will refer to the amended regulations and promote amendments to the multi-family housing management regulations, which are self-governing rules suitable for the complex, with the approval of the majority of all residents.

Son Imseong, Director of the Urban Housing Office of Gyeonggi Province, said, "This amendment will contribute to minimizing conflicts occurring in multi-family housing and creating a healthy community culture where all residents are respected. Since it reflects not only legal amendments but also a wide range of opinions from residents, we expect it to be highly effective."
