Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) announced that it will operate the ‘Jeonse Fraud Victim Support Center’ in response to the nationwide social issue of jeonse fraud.

Starting from the 1st, with the enforcement of the ‘Special Act on Support for Jeonse Fraud Victims and Housing Stability,’ the center provides one-stop support from receiving jeonse fraud damage reports to free legal and psychological counseling for tenants who wish to receive victim support under the special law.

Determination of jeonse fraud victim status requires meeting legal conditions such as moving-in registration and issuance of a fixed date, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s Jeonse Fraud Victim Support Committee reviews and decides the case, notifying the tenant within 60 days.

Once determined as a jeonse fraud victim, various supports are available including ▲postponement of auction or sale of the damaged housing ▲auction support (agency support for public and private auctions) ▲conversion of damaged housing to public rental housing ▲legal and psychological counseling, among others.

Tenants wishing to report damage can submit related documents such as ID, a copy of the lease contract, and a damage statement to the ‘Jeonse Fraud Victim Support Center’ located on the 2nd floor of Seongdong-gu Office’s Land Management Division.

Additionally, the district operates the ‘One-Person Household Jeonse and Monthly Rent Safe Contract Assistance Service’ targeting young adults and one-person households unfamiliar with real estate contracts.

This service provides various supports including consultation on jeonse and monthly rent contracts, assistance in searching for housing, accompaniment when viewing houses, and guidance on policies for one-person households.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “Through the operation of the Jeonse Fraud Victim Support Center, we hope that residents who have suffered damages will receive prompt support,” and added, “We will also do our best to protect the valuable assets of our residents by preventing jeonse fraud through the safe contract assistance service for jeonse and monthly rent.”
