Notwithstanding the provisions of the main clause of Article 256, paragraph (1) of the Civil Code (including as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 264 of that Code), the co-owners of the grounds, etc. pertaining to a destroyed building with exclusively-owned areas (excluding one that was demolished based on a resolution to demolish or the consent of all the unit owners) may not request partition of the land related to the co-ownership interest in the grounds, etc. or rights related to it during the period from the day following the day on which one month has elapsed, counting from the day of the destruction, until the day on which five years have elapsed, counting from the day of the destruction; provided, however, that this does not apply if co-owners of the grounds, etc. who hold more than one-fifth of the voting rights request partition, or if there are any other obvious grounds for finding that a resolution to rebuild, a resolution to sell the grounds, a resolution under Article 84, paragraph (1), or a resolution under Article 85, paragraph (1) cannot be adopted.
滅失した専有部分のある建物（取壊し決議又は区分所有者全員の同意に基づき取り壊されたものを除く。）に係る敷地共有者等は、民法第二百五十六条第一項本文（同法第二百六十四条において準用する場合を含む。）の規定にかかわらず、その滅失の日から起算して一月を経過する日の翌日以後当該滅失の日から起算して五年を経過する日までの間は、敷地共有持分等に係る土地又はこれに関する権利について、分割の請求をすることができない。ただし、五分の一を超える議決権を有する敷地共有者等が分割の請求をする場合その他再建決議、敷地売却決議、第八十四条第一項の決議又は第八十五条第一項の決議をすることができないと認められる顕著な事由がある場合は、この限りでない。
