Seocho-gu 'Prime Residential Lease Information Notification Service'

Two Text Message Services on Real Estate Lease Information for Tenants Who Consented to Personal Data Use When Assigning a Fixed Date

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) has been operating the 'Housing Lease Useful Information Notification Service' since March 15 to provide tenants with useful information related to lease contracts for the stability of their residential life.

Since July last year, the three major lease laws (right to request contract renewal, rent ceiling system, and lease reporting system) have been amended and implemented to protect tenants' rights. However, many vulnerable tenants with limited legal knowledge often overlook these due to the complexity or lack of understanding.

This service was launched to provide tenants with information on their rights and precautions when signing lease contracts via mobile, aiming to prevent lease disputes in advance and create a safe residential environment for tenants.

When tenants report their lease at the local community center, the district office assigns a confirmed date and, after obtaining prior consent for personal information provision, sends related information twice via text messages during the lease period.

First, information on monthly rent income deduction applications and lease contract details is provided, and 100 days before the contract expires, tenants receive texts about contract renewal requests, deposit increases upon renewal, and precautions when signing new contracts.

Additionally, tenants who wish to receive legal consultations can access a free legal consultation service through a pre-reservation link on the website.

Eunhee Jo, Mayor of Seocho-gu, stated, “Through this service, we expect to prevent lease disputes caused by information shortages among vulnerable tenants in advance, foster a healthy housing culture, and contribute to protecting residents' property rights and strengthening their rights.”
