▲ Won Hee-ryong examining damage data from the 'Villa King Incident'


A lot of houses and officetels owned by Mr. Kim (42), who died without returning the jeonse deposit while doing the rental business by buying 1,139 villas (townhouses/multi-households) and officetels in the metropolitan area, were recently applied for auction. Confirmed.



Most of the cases where the lessee requested an auction because the deposit was not returned, and it was found that the auction applicant's bond claim alone exceeded 10 billion won.



According to the court auction information company Jiji Auction, a total of 47 properties in the metropolitan area under the name of Villa Wang Kim have been auctioned off in large numbers since March this year.



Among them, 1 item is currently under bidding, and 46 items are scheduled to be auctioned but not yet bid.



Of the properties owned by Mr. Kim who applied for auction, 24 small multi-households (including urban living houses) in Seoul, Suwon, and Incheon had the most, followed by officetels (10 cases), residential/commercial complexes (8 cases), shopping malls (4 cases), and apartments (1 case). ), etc., most of which were auctioned because the tenant did not receive the deposit back after the lease contract expired, and there were almost no senior bonds such as loans from financial institutions, but many of them were seized by the Pocheon Tax Office in Gyeonggi-do.



Mr. Kim's comprehensive real estate tax arrears seem to be the cause.



Most of the bond claims are deposits from tenants, ranging from mid-100 million won to 200 million won.



Currently, the total amount of claims for 47 bonds that have been applied for auction is 10.5 billion won (average of 223.5 million won), exceeding 10 billion won.



Among them, there were some items in Incheon and Goyang that the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG) subrogated the deposit to the tenant who signed up for the Jeonse Deposit Return Guarantee, and then applied for a compulsory auction to recover the bond.



Seven of the 46 items to be auctioned were withdrawn by the lessee who applied for the auction.



It seems that it was determined that it would be difficult to recover the jeonse deposit through the auction.



One case that HUG applied for an auction was rejected.

Lee Joo-hyun, a senior researcher at G.G Auction, said, "If the national tax arrears date is earlier than the lessee's fixed date, even if the auction is successful, the national tax is distributed in preference to the jeonse deposit, so there is a high possibility that the jeonse deposit will not be fully returned if the national tax arrears are large." In addition, due to the recent decline in house prices, tenants' deposits (bond claims) are approaching the market price, so it is not easy to win the bid."



Auction experts believe that, considering that there are more than 1,000 villas owned by Kim, items with charter contracts expiring in the future will be put up for auction to recover the lease.



In addition, it is known that Mr. Kim has a considerable amount of tax arrears, such as comprehensive real estate tax and property tax, and it is expected that there will be items that will be sold at public auctions.



The problem is that the recent decline in house prices and the large deposits of senior tenants make it difficult to win the bid, experts are concerned.



In this case, the recovery of the tenant's deposit will be delayed, and there is a high possibility that the deposit will not be returned in full.
