tomorrow (the 1st), you must report a rent contract with a deposit of more than 60 million won or a monthly rent of 300,000 won or more. With the end of this 'rent to cheonsei report system', all 3 rental laws with the purpose of protecting tenants will come into effect. But there are still unprotected tenants.



Reporter Jeong Seong-jin reported.

Mr. Lee, who had rented an apartment in Yeouido, Seoul for 6 years, gave up on contract renewal last December when the landlord said that he would come and live in person.



I had a hard time finding a house to move in, but I recently heard that the landlord I was going to live in didn't move.



[Lee Mo/Informant: I heard from the broker that (the landlord) did not move... .]



I went to the community center to check if I was looking for another tenant after falsely saying I would live in to raise the rent, but I got an outrageous answer.



[○○ Community Center employee: When the contract period is over, you cannot read it (rental information). A lot of people come here after watching TV shows or the Internet, but we don't have anything like that yet... .] The



amended Lease Protection Act requires that lease information be provided to former tenants who have been refused contract renewal in order to confirm the landlord's real residence, but the resident center insists on only the resident registration laws that can only be read by current tenants.



The lessor tried to claim damages by checking the fact that he did not actually move in, but he ran into a wall again.



[Lee Mo/Informant: I have been to several places (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Korea Legal Aid Corporation, etc.), but there was no institution I needed. 'I'm sorry, I have nothing to tell you. Please file a lawsuit.' This is one word.]



After the enforcement of the revised law, the number of disputes for damages related to leases has increased nearly threefold compared to last year.



However, in the current system, where the lessor's actual residence and the burden of proof to receive damages, the lessee is inevitably less effective.



[Lim Jae-man/Professor of Real Estate Department at Sejong University: A procedure that can be objectively and concretely confirmed by the lessor (the lessee) is necessary for the reason for the landlord's refusal to renew.]



Mr. Lee is determined to inform the need to revise the lease law by filing a damage claim.
