Yongin City Provides 'Temporary Housing' to Jeonse Fraud Victims

Jeonse Fraud Victim Counseling Center Operated by Yongin City

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will provide emergency housing support for up to two years to victims of jeonse fraud.

Yongin City announced on the 9th that it has decided to supply temporary housing after Mr. A (63), a resident of Yangji-myeon who was ordered to vacate without receiving his 100 million won jeonse deposit due to an abnormal contract, was confirmed as a victim of jeonse fraud by HUG (Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation) at the end of last month and selected as an emergency housing support recipient.

Mr. A will be able to reside for a minimum of six months and up to two years by paying only about 30% of the market rent without any separate deposit.

A Yongin City official said, "As the scale of jeonse fraud victims is increasing nationwide, we have urgently provided temporary housing for the victims," adding, "We will do our best to ensure housing stability for citizens facing difficulties as additional victims continue to emerge."

Yongin City operates a Jeonse Fraud Victim Counseling Center to provide comprehensive support for victims of jeonse fraud.

The counseling center assesses eligibility for support, provides information on support programs, and connects applicants to free legal consultations through the Korea Legal Aid Corporation if they wish to receive additional legal advice.

Citizens who wish to receive counseling can visit the Rental Housing Civil Service Counseling Office on the first floor of the 1st Annex Building at Yongin City Hall.
