The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission Adjusts Rental Housing Move-in Schedule to Align with University Academic Calendar

When university students move into rental housing, it is expected that the timing can be adjusted according to the school's academic calendar.

On the 22nd, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission announced that it recommended the Korea Land and Housing Corporation establish internal regulations regarding the adjustment of move-in timing for university students. It was judged that the regulation aligns with the purpose of supplying rental housing for university students and does not undermine fairness in relation to other tenants.

A, a student attending a university in Chungnam, was selected as a tenant for rental housing near the school in August last year, and the Korea Land and Housing Corporation notified A that they were scheduled to move in October based on the move-in order lottery results. A requested to move in early September to match the academic calendar, but the timing adjustment was not possible. A searched for short-term housing but could not find any, and ultimately had to commute from a relative’s house far from the school for over a month.

Kim Taegyu, Vice Chairman of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, said, “This recommendation is to adjust the move-in timing considering the academic calendar in line with the purpose of youth rental housing for university students,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to resolve complaints related to the daily difficulties of university students and other youth.”
