Suncheon-si, First Tenants Recruitment for Urban Vacant House Remodeling

Half-Price Rent Near Market Rates for Socially Vulnerable Groups Including Newlyweds

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 13th that it is recruiting applicants for the "Urban Vacant House Remodeling Project," which resolves urban management issues by recreating abandoned vacant houses in the city center into new residential spaces, from May 12 to 22.

This project involves renovating vacant houses abandoned in the old downtown area through cooperation between Suncheon City and the vacant house owners, converting them into new residential spaces to be rented out as monthly rentals to newlyweds and others. Currently, remodeling construction is underway on one house each in Maegok-dong, Jeojeon-dong, and Pungdeok-dong.

The city plans to recruit applicants twice targeting newlyweds, and any remaining vacant houses will be rented out at half the surrounding market price for four years through contracts between the remodeled house owners and tenants, prioritizing low-income citizens, students, and others.

The city will separately announce the schedule for on-site visits to the remodeled vacant houses in June exclusively for prospective tenants, and will accept official applications after the site visits.

Newlyweds wishing to apply must submit their applications to Suncheon City (Architecture Division) by the 22nd. For more details, inquiries can be made by phone (Suncheon City Architecture Division, ☎ 749-6379) or by referring to the announcement board on the city’s website.
