To reduce the number of vacant public rental housing, the government has eased the occupancy qualifications for non-rental housing.



The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport recently revised and issued the 'Public Housing Guidelines', which allowed occupancy qualifications to be eased even when more than 10% of the supplied units by size were not leased.



Previously, for Happy Houses, if ▲ or more than 10% of the total number of units supplied were unleased after the start of occupancy, or ▲ there were houses that were unleased for more than 4 months, separate standards for mitigating occupancy qualifications could be set.



Happy House is a public rental housing that the government directly builds and supplies through the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), and 80% of the quantity is allocated to young people and newlyweds.



However, most of them are supplied in small sizes with a dedicated area of ​​less than 40㎡, and there are many places built in places where there is not much demand from young people, so homeless youth have been shunned.



Vacancy rates are up to three times higher than other types of rental housing.



The government has also prepared separate mitigation standards for public housing operators to allow them to move in, even if they are not the main occupants, young people and newlyweds, if there is a happy house that is more than enough to fill the occupants.



It is possible if you meet the general supply of integrated public rental housing (less than 150% of the standard median income).



In addition, the age of children has been added to the requirements for mitigating occupancy of Happy House.



Until now, if there is an unleased happy house, in the case of newlyweds, the first priority was when the marriage period was less than 7 years.



In addition, the case where the child's age is 6 years old or younger was added, so that even if they have been married for more than 7 years, if the child's age is 6 years old or younger, they can be ranked first.
