Last Updated March 23, 2023
What is the Building Agreement?
The residents themselves create rules and follow them.
In the town where we live, regulations on buildings are stipulated by laws such as the City Planning Act and the Building Standards Law, and areas such as residential areas, commercial areas, high-rise building areas and low-rise building areas are divided, and towns are created. I am.
These are uniform standards of the country and regulations that look over the entire city. In addition to these, the building agreement is in which local residents and land rights holders set goals for their own towns, create and protect more detailed rules of buildings by themselves.
Structure of building agreement
Even if the owner of the land changes, the promise will be taken over.
The rules made by local residents are summarized as "Building Agreements", and the agreement is signed by each right holder of the land and building.
Furthermore, when the building agreement is submitted to the city and the mayor approves, the land that signed the agreement is sold, etc., and even if another person acquires the rights, the contents of the agreement will be taken over.
You can't get out of the agreement freely.
If you subscribe to a building agreement, you will not be able to exit with your will only during the validity period.
Being out of the building agreement is a change in the building agreement area, so the agreement of all landowners in the area is required.
This is the same when newly acquiring land for which an agreement has been signed.
Therefore, when concluding an agreement, it is necessary to consider the future and conclude it.
