CivicAIde Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture; CEO: Jun Watanabe) announced that its AI-supported service for revising condominium management rules, "Management Rule Studio AI Support," has surpassed 20 cumulative registered properties and rule creations. With the increasing need to comply with the revised Condominium Unit Ownership Act, which came into effect on April 1, 2026, and the Condominium Standard Management Rules revised in October 2025, the service is being widely utilized by property management companies and condominium managers for its end-to-end support—from digitizing current rules and visualizing differences to creating before-and-after comparison charts and general assembly materials.
Broadly Adopted from Management Companies with Over 100 Buildings to Individual Condominium Managers
"Management Rule Studio AI Support" is an AI service that digitizes current management rules article by article and visualizes the differences against standard rules or a management company's proprietary templates. Through simple drag-and-drop operations, it supports the entire process from drafting revisions to generating comparison charts, board of directors explanation materials, and general assembly agenda documents.
The service has now exceeded 20 cumulative registered properties and rule creations. It has been adopted by a wide range of professionals, including management companies overseeing over 100 buildings, condominium managers serving as officers of prefectural manager associations, and those acting as management association officers. The use cases are diverse, ranging from rule reviews due to legal revisions and organizing outdated rules to considering revisions for properties with significant deviations from standard rules.
The ability to not just draft revisions but also accumulate current rules, differences, and editing histories as property-specific data throughout the revision process has been highly praised by management companies and condominium managers.
Drastic Reduction in Administrative Workload (Up to Approx. 88%)
Based on a condominium manager model (2 board meetings + 2 draft revisions + 1 general assembly, totaling 45 hours), estimates suggest that the administrative work, which previously took 45 hours, can be compressed to 20 hours after system implementation (an approx. 56% reduction, saving 25.0 hours). The burden reduction is especially expected in labor-intensive processes such as initial comparison and sorting, structuring articles, creating comparison charts, and reflecting revisions. For the rule creation task alone, the conventional 24-hour process is estimated to be compressed to just 3 hours (an approx. 88% reduction).
*These are reference values estimated based on our hearings using the condominium manager model. Actual reduction effects vary depending on the property and situation.
Customer Feedback
"We revise rules by checking them article by article, but because the differences are visible at a glance, we can instantly determine what needs to be fixed. By the time the revision is complete, the comparison chart is also ready, and it even supports the creation of explanation materials for the board of directors. It seems it will drastically reduce not only the hours for rule creation but also the preparation time for board explanations." ── Representative of a property management company / Single-building condominium in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area
"The current rules deviated significantly from the standard management rules, and the format of the articles was inconsistent. However, the AI accurately incorporated the management association's unique articles while using the standard as a base. With it organized this well, we only need to make minor adjustments to the foundation to finish it. The time required for first draft creation and document preparation has been greatly compressed." ── Condominium Manager / Single-building condominium in the Kanto Area
Background: Growing Need for Rule Revisions Due to the Enforcement of the Revised Unit Ownership Act
The revised Condominium Unit Ownership Act was enforced on April 1, 2026. Important reviews related to management association operations, such as procedures for calling general assemblies, quorums, and resolution requirements, have been made. If current rules do not align with these, it may affect the operation of general assemblies and the validity of resolutions after the enforcement date. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism also revised the Condominium Standard Management Rules in October 2025, making it critical for each condominium to confirm alignment between their current rules, the revised laws, and the standard rules.
On the other hand, revising management rules is a task that requires high expertise and extensive administrative work, including understanding laws and standard rules, past revision histories, consistency between articles, and explanations to the board and general assembly. On the front lines, the number of "personnel well-versed in rules" is limited, leading to a challenge where work tends to concentrate on a few specific personnel or experts.
Service Features: Making Rule Revision a "Task Anyone Can Easily Proceed With"
This service aims to transform tasks that rely heavily on experts and individual skills into operations that anyone can easily handle. The main five features are:
1. Digitize current rules by article — Import current rules from paper, PDF, Word, etc., and organize them by article. 2. Fast decision-making with visible differences — Visualize differences with standard rules and proprietary templates by article. It makes it easier to see what to keep, modify, and explain. 3. Easy drag-and-drop operation — Intuitively accept, reject, rearrange, and edit article candidates on the screen. 4. Start from an AI draft — Begin work based on an AI-proposed draft rather than a blank page.
