Collapsed apartment, contract can be canceled?… Will the front be demolished?

<Anchor>

Right now, finding the missing person is the most urgent thing, but how to deal with the collapsed apartment in the future and whether or not to continue construction is something that should be pointed out to prevent further accidents.

Let's talk with reporter Han Sang-woo of the Ministry of Economy.

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: You cannot cancel the contract right away. It is uneasy to live in this apartment, or the house price is likely to fall. For this reason, of course, the contract cannot be canceled. However, if poor construction is clearly proven, the contract may be terminated. Also, 6 months from the expected move-in date, that is, this apartment is scheduled to move in in November of this year, but if the move-in is delayed after May next year, the contract can be canceled.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: Yes. It is expected that it will take more than two months to determine the cause of the accident. Also, after that, you have to decide whether to demolish the building and build a new one, or build it with some left over, which is likely to result in a delay of at least six months. Also, in Gwangju City, there are even rumors that this apartment should be demolished. Then, it is a situation in which the contractors have to return the money paid by the construction company with interest attached.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: Now, the contractors of this apartment have already paid half of the sale price as a mid-payment.

Although the construction is delayed, it is unavoidable that the construction continues and the move-in is delayed.

You have to calculate the number of days the move-in is delayed and compensate the money at 18% annual interest.

However, if the construction company refuses to do so, the period may be considerably longer as a lawsuit has to be filed.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: The Serious Accident Punishment Act is a corporation that punishes even the management in case of an accident.

The effective date of this law is the 27th of this month.

Therefore, it does not apply in this case.

Also, the so-called 'School Accident Prevention Act', which was created because of Hyundai Industrial Development, is a law that strengthens the responsibility and punishment of construction companies in the process of dismantling buildings.

However, in this case, it does not apply because it happened at a new construction site.]
