Safety Assessment Available Through 15 Items
Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 18th that it will provide a notice containing precautions for citizens to safely sign jeon-wolse (monthly rent) housing contracts during the moving season, along with a 'self-diagnosis program.'
The notice organizes the items tenants must check in jeon-wolse contracts by stages such as before and after the contract, and after problems arise. It also includes QR codes linking to related information-providing institutions and a housing lease consultation casebook.
The city has created and offers a 'Safe Self-Diagnosis Program' so that citizens can check the safety of the target housing themselves before signing a contract. This program helps pre-assess the safety of the housing to be contracted through 15 items related to the contract.
The city plans to post the notice and self-diagnosis program on its website and promote active use by citizens. To access the related information, visit the city website's main page and go to the bulletin board under 'Information by Category → City → Housing/Architecture → Housing Information at a Glance.'
A city official said, "We will continue to pay closer attention to ensure that citizens do not suffer damages from jeon-wolse contracts."
