Along with this, the government decided to make the punishment more severe in order to prevent realtors from engaging in charter fraud.

It is a policy to cancel the broker's license even if he is only probated for a violation of his duties.



Reporter Jo Yoon-ha will deliver this information.

Mr. Kim, who was scammed for charter rental in Hwagok-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, only trusted the words of a realtor and signed the contract, but it turned out that the broker was also an accomplice.



[Mr. Kim / Victim of Charter Fraud: I just signed a contract with a real estate agent, but it really makes no sense that the realtor didn't know.]



As a result of the police investigation, it was revealed that 373 real estate agents and brokerage assistants were involved in the charter fraud.



Two out of 10 suspects play a large role as brokers or mediation assistants, making the punishment for them heavier.



Currently, qualifications are revoked only after being sentenced to prison for a violation of duty, but in the future, a 'one strike out' system will be introduced so that they can be canceled even if they are sentenced to probation.



In order to strengthen the realtor's responsibility, the lessor's credit information, tax and interest arrears, and the right to view the move-in unit are given, and the lessee is obliged to inform the lessee of what the jeonse tax rate is and when the fixed date is.



In addition, it was decided to include in the special agreement the contract, such as preventing the landlord from setting up a mortgage until the tenant receives a fixed date.



Tenants are allowed to check whether the broker has a history of suspension of business through the app.



However, under the current law, broker qualifications can be revoked only when the Licensed Realtor Act is violated, so brokers who have been punished for fraud under the Criminal Act cannot be filtered out.
