A Comprehensive Checklist of Essential Items to Review Before, During, and After Signing a Jeonse Contract

Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Governor Kim Jin-tae) announced on September 18 that it has distributed more than 4,700 copies of the "Safe Jeonse Contract Checklist" to civil service offices and administrative welfare centers in cities and counties, and has also posted it on its official website so that anyone can easily access and utilize it to prevent jeonse fraud.

This initiative, which organizes at a glance the essential items to check during a jeonse contract as outlined by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, is expected to provide practical assistance not only to local residents but also to young people, newlyweds, and those entering society who may have limited experience with jeonse contracts.

The checklist includes step-by-step and detailed information on how to research jeonse market prices and verify property rights, check eligibility for jeonse deposit guarantee enrollment, confirm the qualifications of licensed real estate agents and important points when drafting contracts, as well as essential items to inspect when making the final payment and moving in.

Additionally, for safer jeonse contracts, users can utilize the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation's mobile platform, the "Safe Jeonse App," to remotely handle everything from pre-contract diagnosis to guarantee enrollment and claim filing.

Through the app, users can sign up for the jeonse deposit return guarantee anytime and anywhere, 24 hours a day. The "Safe Diagnosis" feature makes it easy to check the market price, jeonse price ratio, appropriate deposit level, landlord's tax delinquency history, and guarantee accident history for the property involved in the jeonse contract.

Kim Soonha, Director of Architecture at Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, stated, "While it is important to provide support for victims of jeonse fraud, it is even more crucial to prevent such damage in advance," adding, "We will do our utmost to make Gangwon a safe place to live, free from jeonse fraud."
