High Demand for Real Estate Dispute Mediation Consultations in Gwanak-gu

Resolution of consultation requests on the Housing Lease Protection Act including contract renewal claims and rent ceiling system... Operated every Monday from 2 to 5 PM at the District Office Main Building 1st Floor (Cadastral Division)

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is receiving great responses from residents for its 'Real Estate Dispute Mediation Counseling Center,' which operates to resolve residents' real estate-related grievances.

The Real Estate Dispute Mediation Counseling Center operates every Monday (except holidays) from 2 PM to 5 PM at the cadastral office on the first floor of the district office main building.

Counselors are five licensed real estate agents with extensive expertise and experience, recommended by the Gwanak-gu branch of the Korea Association of Realtors, who provide counseling on a rotating basis.

Customized counseling is available for various real estate transaction disputes such as sales and leases, and the counseling service is free of charge.

The district announced that since the amendment and enforcement of the Housing Lease Protection Act on July 31, 2020, consultations from landlords and tenants inquiring about the right to request contract renewal and the rent ceiling system have increased.

Additionally, if there is a possibility of legal disputes during counseling, residents are guided to receive assistance through Gwanak-gu's free legal counseling service or Seoul City's Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposit Support Center's housing lease dispute mediation.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, face-to-face counseling is minimized and telephone counseling is primarily conducted. Residents wishing to receive counseling can apply through the Gwanak-gu website (Civil Complaints → Civil Complaint Counseling → Real Estate Dispute Mediation Center Counseling Reservation), or by phone or fax.

Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, "Any Gwanak-gu resident experiencing real estate-related disputes can receive counseling free of charge without any financial burden," and added, "We will continue to widely promote this service so that many residents can actively utilize it, contributing to the protection of their valuable property rights."
