Article 52Registration of Change of the Heading Section of a Building as a Result of Becoming a Condominium Unit
第五十二条(区分建物となったことによる建物の表題部の変更の登記)
Where a condominium unit is newly constructed adjoining a building (excluding a condominium unit) for which a heading registration is made and they constitute a single building, and this has caused the building for which a heading registration is made to become a condominium unit, an application for a registration of change of the heading section relating to the building for which a heading registration is made must be filed along with an application for a heading registration relating to the newly constructed condominium unit.
In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the heading-section owner or registered holder of ownership of the building for which a heading registration is made may file an application for a heading registration relating to the newly constructed condominium unit on behalf of the owner of the newly constructed condominium unit.
When all of the two or more buildings (excluding condominium units) for which a heading registration is made have become condominium units mutually adjoining as a result of an extension or any other constructions, applications for registrations of change of the heading section relating to the two or more buildings for which a heading registration is made must be filed at one time.
In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the heading-section owner or registered holder of ownership of any one of those two or more buildings for which a heading registration is made may file an application for registration of the heading section relating to other buildings for which a heading registration is made, on behalf of the heading-section owners or registered holders of ownership of the other buildings the heading registration is made or their heirs or other general successors.
