Gangseo-gu, Nationwide First to Support Home Repairs for Jeonse Fraud Victims

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) has become the first in the nation to provide home repair support for houses affected by jeonse fraud.

Currently, victims of jeonse fraud bear the full burden of issues such as leaks, cracks, and elevator malfunctions caused by poor housing management. This is often because the landlord has either passed away or disappeared, making contact impossible.

The district has established a public-private partnership system to prevent such secondary damages experienced by victims of jeonse fraud.

On the 16th at 2 p.m., Gangseo-gu announced that it signed a business agreement with the international housing welfare nonprofit organization Korea Habitat (Chairman Yoon Hyung-joo) to create a safe living environment for tenants affected by jeonse fraud.

The agreement focuses on maintenance and safety accident prevention for houses affected by jeonse fraud. Under the agreement, the district will recruit beneficiaries and promote fundraising efforts. Korea Habitat will manage overall activities related to fundraising and home repair support projects for houses affected by jeonse fraud.

Actual renovation of the jeonse fraud-affected houses is expected to take place in the second half of this year. The exact scale of support will be determined based on the fundraising results, and the district plans to provide customized support for each household after selecting recipients and assessing the living conditions of the victims.
