Abstract
Many defects are occurring in apartments, the main residential area in Korea. This is due to a lack of construction skills and a lack of management. As many apartments are provided to buyers, the dispute over defects after completion is increasing rapidly. The Housing Act was amended so that local governments could order contractors to repair defects. However, even if defects are resolved after a defect is generated, it is not a fundamental solution that can be satisfied because buyers have to endure the pain caused by the defect. So, it is necessary to protect the interests of buyers by fundamentally reducing defects in apartments. Therefore, in this study, it was suggested that the asymmetry of the information about the apartment buyers should be resolved at the time of sale of the apartment, the final drawings should be a contract document, the review period of the apartment house supervision should be secured, the appropriate supervisory fee should be secured at the time of contract change and the payment procedure should be improved.
