Hampyeong-gun Recruiting Tenants for Five 'Comma Houses'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 26th that it is recruiting tenants until the 30th for five Shwimpyo Houses prepared through the '2020 Shwimpyo Vacant House Regeneration Project.'

The Shwimpyo Vacant House Regeneration Project remodels vacant houses abandoned in each village through an agreement (5-year mandatory lease) between the house owners and the respective village, and rents them at affordable prices to prospective returnees to farming and rural areas.

Last year, the county applied for this project in the 'Jeonnam Population New Hope Finding Project' contest conducted by Jeollanam-do and secured a total project budget of 320 million KRW.

This year, the county plans to create a total of 16 Shwimpyo Houses through the vacant house regeneration project.

Among them, nine locations have completed remodeling (four locations have finished tenant recruitment), and the remaining seven are either undergoing remodeling or in the process of selecting additional sites.

The five locations currently recruiting tenants have already completed remodeling and are located in Hakgyo (1), Eomda (1), Nasan (1), and Daedong-myeon (2), respectively.

Applications are open to any prospective returnees to farming and rural areas who wish to settle in the region.

The contract period is within one year and can be extended within the one-year range through consultation with the village.

The rental deposit and monthly rent will be decided later through consultation with the village.

Public utility charges such as electricity bills must be borne by the tenants.

However, the monthly rent is expected to be decided at about 150,000 to 200,000 KRW, approximately half of the surrounding market price, according to prior agreements.

Those wishing to move in should visit the Hampyeong County Office's Eco-friendly Agricultural Division in person with the application form and other required documents by the 30th of this month.
