[Exclusive] Law separately, administration separately... Why can't the 'list of charter guarantee accidents' be released?

<Anchor>

This is the content we exclusively covered.

We told you a while ago that charter scammers were rapidly increasing their homes by exploiting loopholes in the rental business policy introduced by the government in 2017.

However, as a result of our coverage, it was confirmed that those who committed charter fraud continued to retain their rental business licenses.

The crime continued while receiving tax benefits as they were.

First, this is reporter Jeong Ban-seok's exclusive report.

<Reporter Jeong Ban-seok>

Mr. A signed a charter contract with a deceased Mr. Kim, who is called the Villa King, and took off a deposit of 200 million won.

Even if Mr. Kim continued to commit crimes, he had no choice but to watch.

[Mr. A/Victim of charter fraud: There were already victims, so when I asked the local government and the Housing City Guarantee Corporation to remove the rental business of the king of villas, I heard that it was impossible.

It's really upsetting to just watch the number of victims increase exponentially until now...

.]

There are already legal provisions to disqualify malicious rental operators from receiving tax benefits.

After the end of 2020, the head of the local government can disqualify the rental business if damage occurs, such as not returning the deposit.

However, after checking, there are only 3 rental operators who have been disqualified so far.

These were not villa kings at all, but people with 1-3 houses.

This is because the conditions or procedures for canceling the rental business do not match reality. In the case where the deposit is not returned even though a court decision has been finalized or mediation by the Lease Dispute Mediation Committee has been established, and even this, the local government needs to bring the judgment directly to the tenant to start reviewing the structure. is.

[Jibing Local Government Construction Department Officials: The lessee reports and we investigate or the lessor has to apply for cancellation…

.]

There is not a single case where the qualification was canceled even after accepting the mediation proposal of the Lease Dispute Mediation Committee.

If the landlord refuses to mediate, that's it.

[Kim Min-cheol/Democratic Party Member (National Assembly National Land Committee): There is a blind spot in which the state leaves the work to be done to the tenants.

For some landlords who own dozens or more, the government

will consider a plan to preemptively cancel if there is a problem through an intensive monitoring system.

As a result, charter fraud continued to increase.

Our coverage team independently obtained and analyzed the list of 600 landlords who were reported to the Housing City Guarantee Corporation for not returning the deposit.

The amount of the deposit that was not given to the tenant was also written there, and there were 14 landlords whose money exceeded 10 billion won.

Reporter Lee Hye-mi covered this story exclusively.

<Reporter Lee Hye-mi>

This is the list of landlords of housing and city guarantee corporation Hug's charter guarantee accident secured by SBS.

A total of 669 landlords had at least two, and as many as 300, guarantee accidents.

Among them, as of June of last year, the malicious lessor who had the most accidents was Mr. Lee in his 60s.

The number of guarantee accidents was 286, and the accident amount was KRW 58 billion.

A total of 14 landlords, including Mr. Lee, made guarantee accidents worth more than 10 billion won.

If the accident amount is lowered to more than 1 billion, the number of people increases to 121 people.

The guarantee accident amount of the 'one billion list' lessor accounts for more than 70% of the total.

There was hardly any return.

Most of the amount of the guarantee accident is reimbursed by Hug first, and then the landlord is charged with the right to indemnity. As the amount of the accident increases, the recovery rate drops sharply, and in the case of the landlord who had an accident of 'more than 10 billion won', only 7.8% was returned.

The areas where these malicious renters were mainly active were concentrated in the metropolitan area centered on Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon.

Reporter Lee Hye-mi, who covered this story, is with me.

[Reporter Lee Hye-mi: From the point of view of tenants, we also need a device to filter out bad landlords who will not take my money before signing a charter contract, and we decided that the alternative is to disclose a list of malicious landlords.

So, our charter fraud coverage team has been reviewing securing a list in the public interest to prevent damage.

However, as a result of consulting with experts, I received an answer that it is difficult to disclose information such as name, age, and number of warranty accidents because it may violate the Personal Information Protection Act.]

[Reporter Lee Hye-mi: Actually, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and HUG agree that it is necessary to disclose the list.

However, it is a situation that has not yet been able to have a legal basis to disclose the list.

So, this list was not included in the safety charter app that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport was planning to release soon, so it is difficult to avoid criticism.

As we cover the victims of charter fraud, we always hear that there is almost no information about the lessor, this is too problematic, and there have been many such issues. I think it can be of great help.

Therefore, there are currently dozens of related bills that have been discarded due to the expiration of their term or are dormant in the standing committee, and now it seems that the National Assembly should be more active in eradicating charter fraud
