The Act on Advancement of Proper Condominium Management provides regulations and other requirements on the condominium management contractors in order to secure a good living environment of condominiums. Specifically, the law obliges the condominium management contractors to explain important matters regarding their management operations and conduct segregated management of properties, and the building lots and buildings transaction business operators to issue design specification documents to management associations upon selling the units.
