Abstract
This study aims at examining the measures to deal with issues concerning rebuilding housing complexes (the popular form of condominiums in Japan). In rebuilding housing complexes, disposition of surplus floor space, securing the temporary residence and variety of forms of ownership and bylaw are the major challenges.
To meet these challenges, financing of rebuilding by disposing surplus land, adoption of step-by-step rebuilding and
formulation of new model bylaw for housing complexes are required. It is also important that the Japanese legal system
concerning condominium rebuilding, such as Act for Sectional Ownership of Building, and Condominium Rebuilding
Promotion Act, are to be reviewed to promote rebuilding of housing complexes.
