Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Hyun-mi predicted that "the jeonse market is unstable now, but will find stability in a few months."
Minister Kim said this when he received an inquiry on the issue of jeonse cost from Rep. Kim Sang-hoon, the power of the people, at a general meeting of the National Assembly's National Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee.
Minister Kim said, "Even when the lease period in 1989 was increased from one year to two years, there was market confusion, such as an increase in rental prices for about 4 to 5 months." "If I go out, I think the charter price will find stability in a few months."
When the same party lawmaker Song Eon-Seok pointed out that chartered goods are falling sharply, Minister Kim said, "The chartered transaction volume we are aware of is different from that reported in the media."
