The purpose of this paper is to examine conflicts between public parties in public rented housing programs. The Korean government has implemented one million rental housing program to solve low-income housing problems since 2003. A clash of interests, values, actions or directions often sparks a conflict. One should not confuse the distinction between the presence and absence of conflict with the difference between competition and co-operation. In competitive situations, the two or more parties each have mutually inconsistent goals, so that when either party tries to reach their goal it will undermine the attempts of the other to reach theirs. The main causes of conflicts between public agencies are due to the unreality of schedule, shortage of fiancing, unclear shared responsibility. We try to examine conflict management in the case of public rental housing program through the concept of governance. We do believe that the concept of 'governance' should be applied to solve the problems of conflicts. A fair governance implies that mechanisms function in a way that allows the agents to respect the rights and interests of the stakeholders, in a spirit of democracy. It has also been used to describe the "proper functioning of institutions and their acceptance by the public". And it has been used to invoke the efficacy of government and the achievement of consensus by democratic means (participation).
