Seongnam City Opens Rental Damage Support Consultation Center on the 22nd

Seongnam City Hall

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province opened a Jeonse Damage Support Counseling Center on the 22nd on the 7th floor of the City Hall's Housing Welfare Center to provide comprehensive support for victims of Jeonse fraud.

Jeonse victims can receive support for auction and public sale, credit recovery assistance, financial support, and emergency welfare support through the counseling center after obtaining a Jeonse damage confirmation certificate through screening by the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG).

In addition, victims who have not recovered their deposit and either acquire the residence through auction or purchase a new home can also receive housing purchase loan funds. Especially, victims without a place to stay are classified as emergency housing support recipients and temporarily housed in public rental housing.

The opening of this counseling center was promoted in accordance with the "Special Act on Support for Jeonse Fraud Victims and Housing Stability," which took effect on the 1st of this month.

If applicants wish to receive additional support, the counseling center plans to connect them to the Gyeonggi-do Jeonse Damage Support Center for comprehensive consultations on legal, financial, and housing support.
