Minister Nguyen Thanh Nghi This was one of the points included in the announcement of DPM Tran Hong Ha's conclusion at the conference to address obstacles associated with fire prevention and defence regulations in construction and investment activities. According to experts, many of Vietnam's new fire prevention regulations exceed those of developed nations and do not account for their applicability. Several initiatives under the previous plan to assure compliance with Decree No.79/2014/ND-CP are now being evaluated and must comply with the new regulations issued in Decree No.136/2020/ND-CP. Numerous recently issued standards and regulations fail to differentiate project scope, construction properties, use requirements, and unlicensed fireproof materials on the Vietnamese market.

Tran Khanh, chairman of the Hanoi Building Management Operating Club, said the law does not spell out which areas belong to owners and which are commonly owned, and this is causing disagreements between the owners and building managements. A 2010 decree states that the two areas must be delineated clearly in apartment sale contracts, but another decree in 2015 does not do so, he said. Developers take advantage of it and do not designate shared areas, while buyers usually only worry about their apartment and do not care about shared spaces until later, he said.

One of the main disputed areas is the parking lot. The Housing Law states that motorbike and bicycle parking spaces are shared areas, but car parking spots must be bought or rented by residents. The cost of building parking lots is purportedly not … [Read more...] about Apartment owners, developers at odds over communal area loophole
