A draft amendment on the issue is expected to be published on Thursday on the Government Legislation Centre’s website. The proposal seeks to standardise rules for building and selling micro-apartments and investment units, which have proliferated in recent years, according to the newspaper.
At the core of the reform is a change to how certificates confirming a unit’s independence are issued for buildings classified as collective accommodation.
Without such a certificate, a unit cannot be legally separated and sold as a residential apartment. Under the draft, issuance of certificates would depend on local councils adopting the new rules.
The proposal would also require units in collective accommodation buildings to meet the same construction and technical standards as regular apartments, including a minimum floor area of 25 square metres.
The new rules are set to take effect in 2027, but until municipalities formally implement them, certificates of independence would not be issued, DGP reported.
