Tenants facing difficulties due to jeonse fraud can apply for victim determination at the city or provincial office with jurisdiction over their residence. Once determined as victims through the committee’s resolution, they can receive guidance on support measures through the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG) Jeonse Damage Support Center (in-person and phone) and its branches (in-person).
