Jin Gyo-hoon, Gangseo District Mayor, Puts Full Effort into Preventing Jeonse Fraud and Preparing Support Measures

Discussion on Measures to Prevent Jeonse Fraud and Support Victims

"We will make every effort to establish effective support measures for victims of jeonse fraud."

Jin Gyo-hoon, the mayor of Gangseo-gu, expressed a strong determination to mobilize all available administrative resources to prepare support measures that victims of jeonse fraud can truly feel.

At the 'Jeonse Fraud Victim Support Project Promotion Plan Report Meeting' held on the 1st in the district office's main conference room, Mayor Jin said, "I will personally oversee the progress of comprehensive support measures for victims, from preventing the recurrence of jeonse fraud, supporting victims, to preparing follow-up measures, so that we can shed the stigma of being the area with the highest occurrence of jeonse fraud."

About 30 members of the Jeonse Victim Support Team, composed of 13 support departments including the Real Estate Information Division, Housing Division, and Tax Division, which are in charge of overall prevention of jeonse fraud, attended the meeting.

The attendees checked the progress of jeonse fraud prevention and victim support by each department and had in-depth discussions on establishing measures that genuinely help the victims.

They unanimously agreed that it is most important to establish safeguards that allow tenants to identify malicious landlords in advance to prevent jeonse fraud.

The district plans to conduct a thorough investigation of the lease contract status of malicious landlords to closely understand the scale and current status of the damage.

Along with this, continuous efforts will be made to prepare comprehensive measures that can broadly support victims who fall into blind spots and are not recognized as victims under the special law on jeonse fraud.

Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon said, "As the first local government to enact an ordinance supporting victims of jeonse fraud and making many efforts such as supporting insurance premiums for jeonse deposit return guarantees and monthly rent support, it is true that there are still many issues to be resolved," adding, "We must examine more carefully whether there are any parts of the jeonse fraud victim support measures that need improvement."
