Mobile Use for Housing Lease Contract Reporting Service on Smartphones and Tablet PCs Starting from the 2nd of Next Month
Service Scheduled to be Provided
Yeoju City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Lee Chung-woo) announced on the 28th that from December 2nd, a housing lease contract reporting service using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs will be provided.
The ‘Housing Lease Contract Reporting System’ is a system that mandates the reporting of housing lease contracts with a deposit exceeding 60 million KRW or monthly rent exceeding 300,000 KRW, and the report must be submitted within 30 days from the contract date.
Previously, reports could only be made by visiting the administrative welfare center in charge of the housing location in person or online (PC) through the real estate transaction management system. However, a mobile service was pilot-operated in Daejeon and Sejong to allow landlords and tenants to report immediately at the site of the lease contract signing. This service will be gradually expanded, and Gyeonggi Province is scheduled to provide the service starting December 2nd.
A Yeoju City official stated, “With the provision of a mobile reporting service that is not restricted by location or time, we hope that lease contract reports will be made to avoid disadvantages such as fines due to non-reporting. We will continue to promote voluntary reporting through ongoing publicity.”
Meanwhile, the guidance period for the ‘Housing Lease Contract Reporting System,’ which has been in effect since June 1, 2021, was originally scheduled to end on May 31 of this year but has been extended to May 31, 2025, to prevent confusion due to system changes, during which fines are waived. Once the guidance period ends, fines ranging from 40,000 KRW to up to 1 million KRW will be imposed for failure to report.
